April 21, 1999


In observance of the tragedy that occurred yesterday at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, M-DCPS students and employees were encouraged by Superintendent of Schools Roger C. Cuevas to pause for a moment of silence today to reflect about this terrible loss. He suggested that schools replicate last week's STOP DAY activity where students were encouraged to stop for 30 seconds to reflect on those who have suffered from violence and to resolve to do something to make their schools, neighborhoods, and homes safe.
