"Dear Bulldog Community,

"Our school community has suffered a tragic loss involving the death of one of our high school students today. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this time.

"To help support each other, we will have a CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management) team at the school tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 23, from 2:00-3:30. Please enter through the south door. We will gather in the cafeteria. 

"We encourage all community members, students and staff to join us for a time to gather as a community to support each other and learn about processing grief.  Please keep the family of our student and our school community in your prayers."
