Remembering Columbine and Virginia Tech: A Time for Reverence and Vigilance

As we approach the third anniversary of the Virginia Tech tragedy and the eleventh anniversary of the Columbine High School tragedy on April 16th and 20th, respectively, we must pause to reverently remember those who lost their lives, and all adversely affected by the tragedies, especially family members. These anniversaries must be prayerful experiences not only at Virginia Tech and Columbine, but in schools and communities throughout the nation.

Aside from this reverence, schools throughout the nation must also be vigilant and on heightened alert. Concerns must be responded to with an abundance of caution for it is always wisest to choose caution rather than convenience especially when it involves the health, safety and welfare of those entrusted to our care.
