Though there were never any threats made, it was the reassurance students, parents and staff needed, with less than two weeks left of school.
Bay Area mental health experts are sharing ways we might process the news of the mass shooting at Texas elementary school.
The school kept busy supporting parents concerned about their children's safety. Meanwhile, in San Francisco students at one school, Lincoln High, transformed their anguish into something meaningful. Students formed a circle with 21 chairs. Each one had flowers and a picture of a child who was killed in the Texas school shooting. Two chairs were reserved for the two adults who also died.
"That made me think what if my brothers lost their lives, how would I feel. That really hit home," expressed Tyreque Elleston, a senior at Lincoln High. "Many of these kids should have been able to have fulfilling lives, should have been able to go past 19, should have been able to graduate. Schools should be an environment where we can all enjoy and feel safe learning," added Jose Hernandez, also a student at Lincoln.
