On Friday February 16th, Hillcrest teacher Ms. Trench invited a representative from the Secretary of State’s office to come and to speak to all sophomores in driver education classes.

Daniel Lietz, an Oak Forest High School alumnus, spoke to students regarding organ donation. This informative opportunity gave students the information they needed regarding organ donation to make an informed decision when the time comes.

As of January 1, young people are now allowed to choose organ donation at the age of 16 when they get their driver’s license. Life Goes On (http://www.lifegoeson.com/) is the organ donation registration available in the state of Illinois.
