Casey On behalf of our entire school community, I’d like to express our appreciation for the outpouring of support as we deal with the tragic loss of our friend and colleague Casey Rivara. We’ve had some parents asking us questions like “How can I help my child deal with this loss?” We’ve also received a lot of inquiries from our families basically asking “what can we do to help?” In that spirit, here are a few things that I’d like to share with our community:

This was originally posted by Casey’s wife Angel on our MMCA PTA private Facebook page - I wanted to make sure all of our families saw this:

We have been deeply touched by the overwhelming love and support we've received for Casey Rivara and our family in these past few days. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for the kind messages and gestures of kindness. It's truly humbling to hear how Casey has positively impacted your lives, and we're extremely grateful for that. Considering the incredible stories shared by many of you, we want to capture all of those wonderful memories of Casey in a beautiful book, one that our children can turn to whenever they miss him. This book will serve as a lasting tribute to his life, showcasing the profound impact he had on those around him. Please share your thoughts HERE.

3. We are going to create a memorial bench with trees that we’re going to place in our MMCA Garden. Our PTA President Crystal Schubert is taking the lead on this. 100% of proceeds collected via the QR code below will go towards the Memorial.
