During the lunch period yesterday, a 9th grade student collapsed after apparently engaging in physical play with other students. After being transported to the hospital, we learned late last evening the student passed. In our district, the safety and well-being of our students and staff in a productive learning environment is our highest priority. The loss of any member of the Normandy School District family, particularly a student, is disturbing to us all. We are saddened by this unfortunate incident and understand that students may have upsetting feelings about the loss of one of their classmates. We have provided additional counselors and social workers at the high school today to allow students to express their feelings and to help them cope with this tragedy. Right now, we are focused on providing calming leadership and understanding to our students that will get us all through this. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the students family. Words are totally inadequate to express our feelings, but we want them to know that our thoughts and prayers are with them and that we are here to assist them in whatever way we can. Sincerely,
Calvin Nicholas
