4.20.99 part 5- when i was in 5th grade…

Ten years ago, I was a fifth grade student at Ute Meadows Elementary School. The events of April 20, 1999, are unbelievably still visible in my mind. There are very few moments in our lives as young people that remain so vivid in our memories, but the Columbine tragedy is one that I know will never leave me.

4.20.99 cont'd

columbinereflectionShauna Gauthier offered some really meaningful reflections on Columbine and all that we went through together on her blog.  She included some great insight into Cassie B’s life and what it meant/means for those of us who knew her.  We think a read through her post is highly worthy.  Shauna blogs with Krista Law regularly at nolongermute.blogspot.com.  You can check out the post we’re talking about here.  Thanks, Shauna!

04.20.99

obviously, yesterday was the 10 year anniversary columbine.  a lot of recalling & remembering for us who went through that time together.  if you didn’t get time to reflect, you may appreciate this collection of photos of Cassie Bernall that Jon Burns put together— these were pics that Cassie (Nason) took for a HS photo project.  She lost them, & didn’t find the negatives until years after Cassie was killed.  Needless to say, when we found them, they were overwhelming & powerful.  And still are.  Lift a prayer for the families who lost, the people who experienced trauma, and that God’s story can still be seen beyond April 20th, 1999
