So many of our students (and families) knew this amazing boy and his family. I know many of you have already reached out asking what you can do to provide support. Below is an avenue that can help lift some of the burden they are feeling right now.
Administration and Guidance will work with Edgewood’s PTO to share all information, and you may share with others. This news is devastating to our community so please reach out to Administration/Guidance should you need additional support. District personnel and support counselors will be on campus and available when we return to school on Monday, January 8, so please do not hesitate to let us know your needs. We will operate on a regular bell schedule (we will not have any Mental Health Education lessons).
