To Staff and the Twin Rivers School Community,
There have been many questions this week from all over the District, and not just about reopening schools for in-person instruction. While it certainly dominates all discussions, the focus shifted Saturday afternoon to helping the Allison Elementary school community—especially some of our youngest learners—deal with the loss of a beloved classmate, Makaylah Brent.
As you know, Makaylah and another Allison student were victims of a shooting while playing in a park and enjoying what is supposed to be a place of happiness and exploration. A family is now denied the opportunity to watch their child grow, learn, and reach her potential. The other student, a second-grader, is out of the hospital and recovering at home. Two adults were also wounded in the park shooting.
