Having grown up in Avondale/Glenwood and attended Woodmore Elementary, the community runs through my blood and was a part of me, long before the people of District 5 chose me as their representative on the Hamilton County School Board.
Like many of you, I was deeply saddened when I heard news that there had been an accident involving a bus of school children. In fact, my heart broke. I extend deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those whose lives were lost. My prayers are with them, and with those who are recovering from injuries and trauma.
We need each other more now than ever. Our babies, their families, and Woodmore need us. The Hamilton County School system will do all we can to support our students and families in the wake of this tragedy. The district has crisis counselors available for students, faculty, staff and families who need assistance.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). The Lord will wrap His arms of love and comfort around those who trust in Him.
Your sister & District 5 School Board Representative,
Karitsa Mosley Jones
