Many local schools — including Cumby, North Hopkins, Saltillo, Sulphur Springs ISD — will be joining others across the state Tuesday in a show of support for Uvalde CISD.
Students in Uvalde CISD will return to classes tomorrow for the first time since 21 died last spring as a result of the shooting on the Uvalde school campus. It will be tough day for many in Uvalde, the staff who want to do what they can to protect children and each other, the students who can’t forget what happened a few months back, the parents who once again are asked to entrust their students’ safety to school personnel with the horror of the spring tragedy is still fresh in memory.
School children and staff at campuses across the state will don shirts of maroon, Uvalde CISD’s school color, to show support for all in Uvalde, students, staff, parents and community. The maroon out is designed to show that “our flyer family stands with Uvalde”, that local hearts, love, support and prayers remain with the Uvalde community, especially during the start of school Tuesday.
Community members who wish to also stand in unity for Uvalde CISD are encouraged to do so as well.
