Our hearts are heavy following the tragic accident involving several local students. We join our entire community in holding the families, friends, classmates, and first responders close in our thoughts.

Moments like these remind us how deeply connected we all are — and how important it is to care for one another, both in times of need and every day in between.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the emergency crews, law enforcement, and the healthcare teams who responded with such compassion and professionalism.

As our community grieves, we encourage anyone affected to reach out for support — whether through family, faith, school, or mental health resources. Healing takes time, and no one should have to walk that road alone.
