A 9-year-old known for brightening up the neighborhood. A custodian who loved students like they were his own kids. And a school leader who was determined to help every child. These were some of the victims of the Nashville Christian school shooting.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A 9-year-old known for brightening up the neighborhood with her Broadway-like performances in the driveway. A school custodian who loved students like they were his own kids. And a school leader who was determined to help every child, no matter what challenges they faced.
Evelyn “was everything a 9-year-old should be. She was in and out of our house on a regular basis playing tag,” said next-door neighbor Nick Riegal, 45, whose two children played with her. Clay Stauffer, senior minister of Woodmont Christian Church, where Evelyn’s family are members, described Evelyn as “full of love” and said she adored school.
She was the youngest and the only daughter out of the Scruggs’ four children, said Mark Davis, senior pastor at Park Cities Presbyterian Church, where Scruggs used to work. “When he was greeting, he dressed just like he was going to meet the president,” Bachmann said, adding Hill would wear a suit and tie and his shoes polished.
Koonce, Covenant’s head of school, was described by former students as a champion to all children, whether they faced learning difficulties or were gifted and needed extra challenges.
