A Note to Staff
The last few days have certainly been difficult for our school community. I know you share in my sadness, for it is incredibly painful to lose a student.
However,I appreciate how all of you have come together as a community and have put the needs of others first. Many of our kids and our colleagues have needed your support, and you have given it without hesitation. Thank you!
This week will continue to be difficult, as the wake and funeral are on Monday and Tuesday,but I know the strength of our building will help to carry us through.
