I am struggling to process the tragedy our school experienced yesterday. What I do know is that I am proud of all of my colleagues. As our community struggles together to cope with its grief and understand its loss, my ramblings here seem unimportant.
I thank the many of you who wrote and sent kind thoughts.
I will be back in a bit.

Joyce,
I was devasted to hear of the tragedy at your school, as was our whole school and community of New Hope. Everyone here is praying for Springfield.
