daughters said this was handled "weird" by the school...
@traxla:
Principal Daniels came on the PA during 3rd period and asked the teachers to stop what they were doing and check their email. I could instantly tell something was wrong by the tone of Daniels voice.
The part of the email that was read allowed to students basically said that Junior Charity Green passed away the night before and there would be counselors available for students. And also something about providing support to her grieving friends and family.
(I could see my teachers screen and I saw it also said that if students asked how or anything that to just stick to the script).
A student in my class spoke up, "This reminds me of when Kenny died."
