Columbine happened at the end of my junior year. There were (rumored?) bomb threats about the prom that year, but they were quickly debunked. I don’t think we had any threats of anything my senior year.

One of mine was in first grade at the time of Sandy Hook. I don’t know if that’s why it really started on my radar or what, but I just feel like from then on out they’ve just been practically nonstop.

One of mine was in first grade when 20 first graders were slaughtered at Sandy Hook, so I feel like it really touched a nerve with me. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work out when they take the bus, but I drop them off fairly regularly. When I do, I always tell them “I love you; have a good day” when they’re getting out of the car. Though they’re teenagers now and usually have headphones in. 😒

If they’re not calling you back, do you have somebody that can go to the office and stand at the desk and raise a ruckus until they call you and straighten it out. I don’t remember the exact process, but I know there is a way to vote from your hospital room even if you intended to vote in person and got admitted at 6:30 a.m. Election Day.

Edit: I’m not suggesting anybody get violent or anything like that. Just be problematic enough to get addressed but not arrested.
