🎉 Celebrating a Parkvue Star on a Statewide Stage!

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Dallas Harris, a dining services employee at The Parkvue Community's Parkvue Place and a senior at Sandusky High School, who recently spoke at the America 250-Ohio Kickoff Celebration at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.

Dallas was invited to speak at the event after being recommended through the Ohio Youth Senate and U.S. Senate Youth Program—an honor that placed him alongside state officials as Ohio begins celebrating America’s 250th birthday.

From serving meals to our residents at Parkvue Place to speaking at the Statehouse, Dallas exemplifies leadership, dedication, and the promise of the next generation. We’re so proud to cheer him on! 👏✨
