The tragic news of the mass shootings in Atlanta is heartbreaking. It comes in the wake of recent violence against Asian Americans. As a school community, we remain steadfast and committed to condemning all acts of hate, racism, and violence. We stand in solidarity and support all members of our community, particularly Asian, Asian American, and Asian Pacific Islanders who are deeply impacted by this unspeakable tragedy.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, we continue to witness a steady increase in hate crimes. The most recent senseless, killings undoubtedly leave students, staff, and families shaken. This is an unwanted reminder that life is fragile and evil exists in the world.
We remain committed to working towards tolerance, acceptance, and our stated goal of all members of our community feeling safe and welcome. Let us support each other in these difficult times and encourage those impacted to get help and utilize systems of support both at school and outside of school.
