A terrible tragedy befell a Los Angeles area school today. Around 3pm a car swerved onto the sidewalk, near the school, hospitalizing 7 students and killing a teacher. The news has reported that grief counselors are already at the school working with the administration. It will be an immense challenge for the faculty to deal with this tragedy, while also helping the students cope.
Having recently participated in a California private school conference, I recognized the school. The woman who taught the poetry workshop I raved about is a 4th grade teacher there. My heart goes out to the faculty, students, and parents who are affected by this terrible event. Lean on the ones who love you. This is when they are most important.
