Metamora Township High School

Thank you to the National Guard for coming in and helping the Food Science 1 classes elevate some MREs!

Our first Unified spotlight of the holiday season is Bayleigh Matthews. Meet our UR president, Bayleigh. Bayleigh is a senior and is involved in Unified P.E., she is a peer helping in Mrs. Hanrahan's fifth hour class, and she is involved in many UR activities outside of school. Outside of Unified, Bayleigh has been on the volleyball team for all four years of her time at MTHS. Bayleigh's Unified partner is Eddie. One of her favorite memories from her time in UR is when Eddie brought her flowers to one of her volleyball games. Eddie and Bayleigh are each other's cheerleaders forever! Bayleigh is so thankful that she joined Unified Redbirds and hopes to inspire others to join, too!
