Dear Families,
Things you need to know:
Wednesday morning many students had questions regarding the incident on Tuesday. I gave the kiddos an opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings. We discussed our school being a safe place. Our class realized how adults in our community were watching out for them. Thanks to Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, Corbett Fire Department, Corbett Citizens Patrol and other community members.
