Sullivan High School English teacher Cami Badman has been selected as the Midwest Representative for the National English Honor Society. Badman has been sponsoring Sullivan’s NEHS chapter since 2016, and the group’s support of the arts and community service has only increased in that time. Sullivan NEHS students select books for the library to purchase, sponsor book drives and blanket drives, partner with other classes as pen pals, and host an English week competition at the high school.
As a part of the national council, Badman will work with inactive chapters across 7 states to become active again, seek the establishment of new charters, and assess student writing for various NEHS competitions. Council members are also asked to represent NEHS on a national level at various events like the conference hosted by the National Council of Teachers of English.

The C.E.F.S. Head Start 0-5 Program offers an Early Head Start (EHS) program, which serves pregnant women and infants and toddlers under the age of 3. EHS programs enhance children’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development, help pregnant women access comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care, support parents’ efforts to fulfill their parental roles, and help parents move toward self-sufficiency. This is accomplished through a weekly 90-minute visit for children 0-3 and a monthly visit for pregnant women. Also, twice per month, the program offers opportunities for parents and children to come together as a group for learning, discussion, and social activity. C.E.F.S. Head Start 0-5 Program enrolls year-round and there is no cost to families to participate in the program. If interested, please call/text 217-663-7822.
