CASIE Center launches county-wide Attendance Awareness Program

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. -- The CASIE Center announced the launch of a new county-wide Attendance Awareness Program to encourage parents, guardians, and families to get their kids to school every day.

Officials say ever since the COVID pandemic, attendance has gone down dramatically.

The new campaign aims to give families and organizations the tools to help bring attendance back up and build excitement for children to go to school.

Jennifer V. Liddell, Attendance Awareness Project Lead, stated, "About in August, we started working with a company named Lightbox out of Goshen and coming up with different ways and different toolkits to help these people."

The CASIE Center is a child advocacy center serving the needs of children and families of St. Joseph County.
