From Superintendent Drew Goebel,
Our hearts are broken as we grieve with our neighbors in Chatham. We extend our deepest sympathy and unwavering support to the children, families, and staff of the Ball-Chatham School District, and to all first responders impacted by this unimaginable tragedy.
As educators, parents, and students, we mourn the young lives lost and hope for comfort and healing for those who are injured. We hold close in our thoughts the families walking through unthinkable sorrow, and we stand in solidarity with the Chatham community as they seek peace in the midst of pain.
We recognize the strength and compassion of the first responders who stepped forward in the face of crisis. May they continue to find courage and feel the appreciation of communities near and far.
To honor those affected and show our support, Clinton School District will wear red on Friday, May 2, 2025. We invite our entire school community to join us in this visible sign of love, unity, and remembrance.
Though words can never fully express our sorrow, please know that the Clinton School District and community holds you close. May love surround you, may peace find you, and may healing begin.
With care, compassion, and solidarity,
The Staff, Students, and Families of the Clinton Community School District
