Shocked

Today we had our social studies standarized test. Our kids feel that they did well.

Then we got the bad news. One of our teachers passed away this morning as she was geting ready for work. She was 33 years old. I am still in shock and so are most of our kids. The school had professionals in the building for the staff and students.

She was a graduate of our school so some of the teachers had been her teacher or had been classmates of hers.

Do they know what caused her death?

I'm sorry to hear about your colleague. I'm sure it's difficult for her students, whether they admit it or not.

At this time we have not been told what the cause of death was. They are doing an autopsy.

How was everyone today?
And, how are you?

I just got home from the wake. We had an hour wait in line. She was well known, well liked, respected and loved. EHHS is holding it together.
