Our thoughts go out today to all families and friends of Columbine. As school psychologists we are reminded of the necessity of our roles in the schools.. Take care of each other and build a community to stand up to bullying, harassment and violence through love and education. And as quoted below by Principal DeAngelis...

"Unfortunately, there will be more school shootings, and I will be there to help,"DeAngelis says. "Maybe, just maybe, hearing my words might just prevent another one."

A special thank you to USA Today Reporter Trevor Hughes.

The killings on April 20, 1999, prompted changes nationwide.
