We have no words. But even when we don’t know what to say, acknowledging the unimaginable pain that members of our community are experiencing matters.
To every family member, friend, student, educator, and community member affected by this senseless violence: our hearts are with you.
We are deeply grateful for the teachers who put their own fear aside to protect and care for their students, the first responders who entered uncertain circumstances, the medical personnel caring for the injured, and everyone who stepped forward when they were needed most and made decisions no one should ever have to make.
We are holding our Central Oregon community close.
