I was in group 6 for a few yrs in the early '80s. Hated it at the time, but as I grew up, realized what a blessing it was. I even named my daughter Sarah Madelon after Sister Madeline. ❤️
I lived at the cottage got there in Sept 1998 I was13 yes old, until June 2000. I got out at the age of 15 .. I was there with Juanita Cl..., viviane Gre..., Jessica Mach (from El Salvador). Kelly, Rhonda, Jessica the jewish friend that we learn the prayer in Hebrew before meal we prayed. Vivian from Haiti.
I remember us watching Sister Act, Grease and even made a Step team. I always had that phone call From Rudy.. And Watching buffy the vampire slayer, soul train. I remember Mrs: Chris, Mrs: Edna, Mrs: Louis. Mr: Kermit,
I can't remember more I forgot my teacher's name and the teacher's aid always helping me out and giving me candy. I was in the softball team and volleyball too. I miss that place.. Yes it was difficult at the beginning because of the bullying but it stopped.. but those left then the ones that stayed we were ok.. A lot of things happened good and bad but I miss that place I felt loved by the staff.. /Am Shely Marca... (Flor)\ now 40 years old happily married and 4 kids.
I attended M.H. in July 1980 I was in group 5. My group was awesome It was a little scary run by nuns and being Lutheran and not a church person but I did it. Made friends there but lost contact with some but 1 friend we keep in touch through FB. M.H. was I place I needed at the time. You go to school so we wore uniforms no biggie. When I was there it wasn't a bad place I mean I missed my family but I needed help. I don't know what it's like now but it's what you put into it to make it work.
Thank You M.H. and Sister Madelyn.
My daughter was there for a bit, a few years back. When she went there she was really heading down a bad path, she came out doing much better. Now she’s a wonderful woman & mother. Madonna Heights saved her in my opinion. Mrs. Michelle was an amazing social worker to work with.
