Leo Lehner, a student at Chaminade Julienne, suffered from an epileptic seizure which led to his death last October. In his honor, CJ declared March 31 as #LiveLikeLeo Epilepsy Awareness Day. Leo lived his life by the following rules - be yourself, be kind to everyone, try new things, and be in service to others.

Inspired by Leo, the Lehman Teen Leadership Corps (TLC) has been logging and will continue to log service hours in his memory and honor. Last week, TLC invited LCHS staff and students to wear purple, the official color for epilepsy awareness, and jeans for $3. TLC donated more than $260 in Leo's honor and memory to Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley. A special thanks to all who participated.
