A Tribute

A Tribute
As we all know, today a gunman entered an elementary school in Connecticut and killed 26 people. There is no rational explanation for this; it is simply an act of evil. It is a tragedy that so many lives have been lost and so many families devastated by malice beyond my comprehension. As someone who works in a school, this latest incident resonates very much with me. You can’t do what I do as a job; it’s personal. We don’t just give knowledge; we give ourselves. And regardless of whence they come, we take care of and care for all of our kids. And when things like this happen, regardless of how far away the place is, it feels very close to home. And I think of my own school and the many people who are special and important there. So I have this small tribute for those who were lost in this tragedy.



























EDIT: This picture has been circulating on Facebook and I think it's a great addition. When I first made this, I did not know who the victims were. But now we do. And THEIR names are the ones the media should make sure we don't forget.
