Good evening Millbrae families and team,
On many occasions over the last 24 hours, I have reached for my computer to script a message to our community that would perhaps bring a bit of solace and reassurance regarding the safety of our schools in Millbrae. Each time I began to write I became tripped up on my own words - mostly because I have none. Our hearts are broken, once again, as we read, listen and watch about a tragedy that creates heartache and silence.
I wish i knew all 2000 plus children in our school district personally, I wish I could find the words to express how deeply I care for each and every one of them in spite of knowing only the tip of the iceberg about their remarkable lives. I care for our parents, our families, our community, our team and our precious, precious children. May we remember Evelyn, Hallie, William, Cynthia, Katherine and Mike tonight and always. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with these beautiful souls and their families.
With love,
Debbie
