Another Student Killed

I'm very sad today. A former student of mine, Ashley Wilson, was killed in a car crash yesterday. Her two passengers are in critical contition, and are both from High Ridge, so I didn't know them. Ashley was a sweet, quiet girl in chemistry class. She was in my class two years ago as a junior, and graduated last year. Her parents, family and friends are devastated, and there is a memorial page set up on facebook. There was also an article in the Post-Dispatch today about this.

Another former student graduate Matt Mariani, whose brother still attends OHS, is still in a coma from the accident during spring break in Panama City beach wher he was struck by a car crossing the road between the beach and residential area. The family is having trouble paying for the hospital care, and our super students decided to donate the most of the money from the "Mr. OHS" event Friday night to the family. I hope he recovers, but I hear it doesn't look good since the coma has gone on since Spring Break.

I hope to have happier things to report in the future. God Bless.
