Most of you are aware of the tragic loss of Kelsey Morris, Platte County High School sophomore student. As a result, the district has a responsibility to take care of student and staff needs as they all grieve in different ways. After a day of orchestrating this effort (with tremendous help from a talented staff), I feel the need to reflect on this loss as a Platte County School District family member, and more importantly, as a father. My reflection reduces down to one single thought and consequently an action. I am living every father's dream and must put my arms around my wife and baby boy every chance I get! I suspect families are, indeed, embracing tonight across our community.
I would like to commend our building level staff members at PCHS and PCMS for putting their proverbial arms around our staff and students as they deal with the loss of Kelsey. Additionally, administrators, counselors and social workers across the district offered their support and resources to those in need. THANK YOU!
I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to Kelsey's family and friends.
