As the tragic events began to unfold on Friday, my heart was filled with sadness, sorrow and pain for the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School. How could something like this happen in a school where children are presumed safe? As a parent and as an educator, this is an impossible question to answer.
Our children face many emotional strains as they grow up. Whether on TV or in their own lives, disasters leave children with questions and sometimes with fear. I want to assure you that safety is a top priority at Salisbury High School. We work closely with our own School Resource Officer the Salisbury Police Department and Rowan County Sheriffs Department, Also, we are consistently working to review, refine and improve our safety routines and procedures. My hope is that we always maintain a setting that is a safe learning environment for our students and workplace for our teachers and staff. If you have any questions or concerns, I ask that you direct them to me, rather than your child's teacher or our office personnel.
Finally, I want to share a challenge with you. Despite the fact that bad things happen in our world, we have so much to be grateful for. During this holiday season (and beyond) please consider doing acts of kindness with others in mind. Serving others while embracing the good that life has to offer is an excellent way to rebound. A simple smile and kind words to others can make the difference! I appreciate your continued support and hope you all have an Incredible Week!
