We received word today, that a former student passed away last week. The news came through “the grapevine” as some of the students arrived this morning, and we were able to confirm with a reliable source a short while later. We made a formal announcement to the students this afternoon and shared some tears together. While I don’t want to share her name publicly, most of the students have known her for a long time. She was a wonderful student, very loving and kind, and always made us smile. We send her family our condolences, may she rest in peace.
