A sad situation handled well
Submitted by jcht2010 on
I would like to say thank you so much to Edna ISD, especially the Elementary. Wednesday there was a tragic accident and my daughter lost her 3rd grade home room teacher.
I received a phone call from a school counselor telling me the news. She explained to me they were going to tell the students around 11 am and if I wanted to get my daughter and let her know before they did that would be fine. I made the decision to let them tell her and go up there if I needed to.
Shortly after 11 I got a phone call saying my daughter needed me. I rushed up there and hurried into the library where all the kids were. There were so many sad faces and tears.
I want to especially thank Mrs. Kucera. As I listened to her softly and kindly explain the situation as best as she could. There were several teachers and parents around to console the little ones. I also want to thank Pastor Andy Schroer for taking time to talk with the kids and praying for them and the school during this time.
I was also worried about the kids Christmas party the very next day. The fill-in teachers and helpers made everything very normal and comfortable for the kids. Lots of people stopped in to check on them while I was there. I think this horrible accident was handled magnificently and I couldn't be anymore proud of the school district at this time.
Lastly I want to let the Raybon/Hamilton family know I will forever be thankful for Michelle. She made such a great impression and positive mark on my daughters little 8-year-old heart and mind. I hope you know how much she meant to so many students.
