We are devastated by the unimaginable tragedy that happened at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon yesterday afternoon. We hold everyone affected close to our hearts.
While our Bend team and their families are safe, this event hits close to home. Our team members have connections with teachers and students at the school and with the first responders who arrived to help.
We are grieving alongside our community and sending love to the students, families, educators, first responders, and everyone in Bend navigating the aftermath of this heartbreaking event. We hope our community finds comfort in one another as we process and mourn.
The Deschutes Public Library in Bend has resources that aid in coping with tragedy and having conversations about gun violence with each other and with the young people in our lives. https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/display/362560137/3137132317
