Sad event at school

[ksjayhawks]

I had posted this on the prima swap thread as I did not get my package mailed as planned the other day. I also want to post here.

As some of you know, I have been teaching at an alternative high school. The last day for our ninth graders was Tuesday. Tuesday night 3 of our students--9th graders--were in a bad single car accident and one girl died from her injuries. The driver is still in the hospital, the other girl has been released. Reports are that the driver was changing lanes, swerving from one to another. Then he lost control, hit a culvert and a light pole (knocked out power to over 3100 homes for several hours). The pictures of the car are awful and they had to use the jaws of life to get two of them out.

So . . needless to say the last two days at school--and personally--have not gone as planned. Many of us did not know until Wednesday morning when we got to school.

Please keep the two kids who survived and the family of the one who did not in your prayers. The funeral is Saturday.

We lost a student in a car accident last year at the beginning of spring break. It is so heartbreaking to go through that--for everyone involved. My thoughts & prayers are with you and them.
