October 30, 2025/

Many young kids find role models in storybook characters, but now, East Helena kids are finding role models and mentorship in the students who came before them.

The Vigilante Story Squad has just expanded to Prickly Pear Elementary School, and Bender says she hopes to see it continue to grow.
