remembering Cory Redington

It's with a heavy heart that I post this: the LAHS administration has informed us that our classmate Cory has taken his own life. As you can imagine, this is devastating news. Although we didn't have many classes together, he was always smiling and very kind to me. I'm going to miss Cory for sure. Our thoughts are with the Redington family during this incredibly difficult time.

Even more tragic is the fact that another student had hung himself earlier this year. I wish people would get help before it's too late. Given recent events, no one was in the mood to celebrate summer. Our end-of-year assembly and yearbook signing party have been canceled. Of course, this doesn't compare at all to the loss of such young and promising lives. :-(
