Today's color matches the feelings and hearts of our school. We lost a grandmother (who was raising him) and student to an act of senseless violence. The ripple effect of one person's bad decision is so far reaching. My heart goes out to this kid's friends, family, our students, staff and community, praying for peace and justice.
So weird, how one minute one can have a renewed vigor and energy and vision and in the course of an email, have it covered over in a blanket of sorrow and numbness.
It's also a challenge to be, as kids around you go through their stages of grief, trying to make sense of the senseless. It is tiring.
Today's piece is dedicated to our student and his grandmom, not truly what I had envisioned doing but in a state of numbness, it's the best I could do. Maybe tomorrow I'lll try to tackle what I had really intended on creating.
Peace and fabulousness.
RIP Peter and his grandmom
