H.S. Yearbook Won’t Include Student’s Baby, Suicide Victim

Menahga, MN
High school yearbooks are lined with memories both good and bad, but in Northern Minnesota, one high school wants to keep a few things from its pages.

A controversy is brewing at Menahga High School over the issues of teen pregnancy and suicide.
Kyle Kenyon would have been a senior this year, but committed suicide last January.

“The only way I can hold it together is with all the support we have,” said Peggy Havnes, Kenyon’s mother.

Around 100 classmates have signed a petition to get a memorial page in their yearbook, something Havnes would also like to see.
