In response to this week's tragic church school shooting, CMK Director Mellie O’Keefe initiated a prompt, empathetic communique to CMK families. Erin Smith sent a modified version to the PMO families. Feedback has been positive and the proactive approach was appreciated.
Please continue to keep the Covenant Presbyterian community in your prayers.
Tuesday, March 28, 2023 - "We are deeply heartbroken by yesterday’s tragedy at Covenant Presbyterian School in Nashville. Undoubtedly, this tragedy is top of mind for all of us today. At Chamblee Methodist, the security of your children and our staff is paramount. As you know, our doors remained locked throughout the day with limited, monitored access. Between our existing protocols, the constant diligence of our teachers, and a plan that predates yesterday’s events, security is and remains our top priority.
There are no words or emotions big enough to take away the pain of the families who have been impacted by this tragedy. We stand with the entire country to support and lift up these families in prayer. I know you will continuously pray for these families throughout the coming months.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or Deanna Hamilton, the church’s Executive Director, if you have questions or concerns. I want to assure each of you that nothing is more important to us than providing your children with a safe, nurturing environment.
Please join us in praying for all those at Covenant Presbyterian school and church."
