Classes at the school were not held on Friday. In her year career, she taught, guided, helped and cheered on countless students and staff members.
In a district Facebook article, Crystal said one of the funniest things that happened in her teaching career was when her students told her she was Superwoman. I believe they are unique, resilient and talented. We send them comforting thoughts.
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Principal, Crystal Berry. Berry dedicated over twenty-five years to serving our students, staff, and families, and her passing is a profound loss for all who knew her. During this difficult time, our crisis team will be available to support students, staff, and parents as we navigate this loss together.
Counselors, mental health clinicians, and restorative facilitators will be on-site and available virtually for those in need of support. To connect with a support provider, please contact the TGVA office. We can arrange either a virtual session or an in-person meeting. Out of respect for our community and to allow time for processing this loss, teachers will not hold classes on Friday, February 14th. Instead, students will receive asynchronous assignments with extended time for completion.
A loss like this can affect each of us differently. Some may grieve personally, others may feel deep sympathy, and some may be reminded of past losses.
