MONROE - Local nonprofit groups have partnered to bring Kyle Scheele, an inspiring speaker, writer and youth expert who has challenged tens of thousands of teens across the nation to live better stories, to area schools. Scheele will be speaking to middle and high school youth from eight area school districts in daytime presentations Feb. 22-25. He avoids the usual discussion of "don't do this, don't do that" and instead focuses on the positive choices that students can make to leave a positive impact on their classmates, school, community and world.
