Balloons

Ally's family asked if the fourth grade would be part of a balloon releasing experience. On Wednesday, the family came to school. We met in the gym.

First Mr. Voshell introduced the family and told us about the balloon releasing plan.

Mr. Meyer spoke next.

As we exited the school doors, students were handed a balloon. We waited outside for everyone to have their balloons.

Allison's mom spoke. We had a moment of silence. We counted, then released our balloons.

Watched Allison's favorite colors of pink and purple against the clear, blue sky warmed our hearts as we remembered our friend.

Our social workers, counselors, additional staff, and administrators were on hand to help any student who needed a little extra today. We move forward, like our balloons, remembering Ally, her family, and close friends.
