In case you weren't aware, there was a shooting at a middle school in my district (Greenville County Schools). Our Elementary School stated that they weren't going to address the topic with the school and sent this really well written piece for parents that may need to discuss the topic in the future. I thought I'd post it here for anyone that faces a hardship discussing this topic.
