The Mehlville Optimist Club recently honored Sarah Miller of Oakville Senior High School as its Youth of the Month. Sarah’s mother, Dana, and brother Will along with Assistant Principal Jim Kern and Senior Counselor Nancy Puricelli were present at the ceremony to share in the award and elaborate on Sarah’s achievements. Last November, Sarah mobilized some 1,000 students, teachers and parents to help raise money for childhood cancer research by shaving her head and encouraging others to do the same. The fundraising event for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation generated more than $11,000. Pictured, from left, are: Youth of the Month Chairman John Roland and Sarah.
