Musical with a Message

Since the topic of sex trafficking surfaces in “Throughly Modern Millie,” seniors Olivia Neal,Anna Sell and Madison Masilionis centered their senior service project around volunteering at The Willow Tree and helping victims of sex trafficking. Donations of hygiene products were accepted at all three musical performances Jan. 22-24 for the same cause. “I feel like when you do charity, you need to see that person face to face,” Neal said. “It’s about humbling yourself, and it makes it more of a lifestyle.” For a video further explaining this message and more pictures from the musical, go to lejournallive.com
