On Wednesday, May 16, 2007 at the Peoria RiverPlex the ELITE Youth Program graduated its inaugural class of 58 students. The graduation ceremony recognized those students who completed a demanding 10-week course leading to competitive part-time employment. Speakers included Mayor Jim Ardis, District 150 Superintendent Ken Hinton, and Mrs. Bonnie Noble of the Peoria Park District. Thanks to everyone who helped make the program a resounding success! Way to go graduates!
