...Richmond public schools a little while ago. I just attended my daughter's fifth grade graduation ceremony at Southampton elementary this morning, a feeder school for Huguenot High School. Our daughter won't be staying in the RPS system beyond this year for reasons such as this, but my heart is broken for the families affected by this. We were at a school-system-wide awards ceremony a few weeks ago, and there were several students from Huguenot recognized there, and I drive by that school almost daily. I realize the shooting didn't happen AT the school, but the people affected by this are in my community, so this hits really close to home for me. I have to admit that I left my daughter's school this morning with a feeling of relief that we had made it safely through another school year, but now this news just crushes my spirit. I'm sure there are a wide range of opinions about the causes and solutions to this problem and we can't really discuss those here. I just pray for everyone affected and that our country can have some hard internal conversations about the lack of value we seem to place on human life.
