Dear Keystone Community,
Keystone is part of a greater community. A community of educators, students, and school staff made up of tens of thousands of people across the United States and the world. An attack on another school where children should be safe to learn, grow, and laugh creates a pain that resonates for every member of the entire system.
Yesterday in Uvalde, Texas, 19 children and two adults were murdered only days before school ended for the summer. Children rose for the day, teeth were brushed, breakfast was eaten, backpacks loaded up, and off they went for what should have been a very typical end-of-the-year school day. We mourn with every one of the parents whose precious children were taken. We shed tears for the two teachers who gave their lives for their students, and we drop our heads as we contemplate how this could happen again.
Listen to your children if they hear of this tragedy and offer age-appropriate explanations to their questions. This article provides some suggestions, and school psychologists give advice in this article. Don't hesitate to reach out to the Keystone staff if we can be of any help.
Our hearts are with the victims of this tragedy. We stand together with educators worldwide, and our deepest wish is never to lose another child to gun violence. May our children skip to school with smiles and return to us safely every single day.
In Heath and Peace,
Laura Hertzler
Head of School
Keystone Montessori
