1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday. 💙

Today, Chester Miller participated in the 1:10 Walk Out to acknowledge this reality and stand together as a community committed to prevention and protection.

What matters most is that we—as adults, educators, and community leaders—continue to share a collective commitment to keeping our children safe. Together, we can raise awareness, support one another, and make a difference.
