Week Six (Fall Semester)
Last week's tragedy has grieved our whole community. My heart breaks for the family and friends of the victim. I encourage all families to attend the parent meeting this Thursday at 6:30 pm in the Auditorium to learn more about the investigation and how we are all attempting to cope with this horrific loss. In the mean time, I encourage everyone, families, students, staff and community members, to educate themselves about the deadly drug fentanyl that is poisoning people.
