Today's post is one that I am struggling to make. With just one week until I depart, a tragedy has struck our school community as a young girl on our team dies suddenly during an overnight environmental school field trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Her unexpected death leaves our entire team in a state of shock and we are all reaching out to each other to try and provide comfort to each other. McKayla was an incredibly bright, talented and loving 13 year old that touched the lives of everyone she knew. My love and prayers to go out to all of my students and McKayla's family and friends. The images of McKayla's beautiful smile with be with me as I take this journey. Peace and love to all. Debbie Hinrichs
