The last couple of weeks at Tygarts Valley have really been difficult for all of us. I don't ever remember a time that has been so hard to get through as what we've had to deal with in the circumstances surrounding the death of one of our students two weeks ago. Today was the funeral and I hope that it brings some closure to some of the pain and grief that we've been dealing with. We are in shock and disbelief that something so horrific could happen in our small community. It will be hard to go on, but we must.
The storm brought a week without power and a couple feet of snow to us so we haven't had school for over a week now. Things seem so surreal with all that's happened. If it were only a bad dream that we could wake up and shake off.
Life sometimes shakes us to our core and makes us evaluate ourselves and our lives. It's not an enjoyable time, nor is it something that we look forward to. However, it is good for us to look at our direction in life and our beliefs and redefine what really matters to us. I hope that we can grow individually, in community, and unify our school with a spirit of love and hope for a better tomorrow.
