A letter from Mrs. Dorney was sent home on Friday regarding the death of a Rio student. Sofia Wardle was a second-grader who had battled cancer for many years. Friday was a difficult day, but I was very impressed with the way your children handled it. We talked as a class about Sofia and about our feelings and experiences with losing loved ones. One of the first concerns from the class was how the little kindergarteners would handle it. There were some tears throughout the day, and they were all very sympathetic and respectful of each other's feelings. It was wonderful to see them all come together to support one another in such a mature, compassionate way. Sofia will certainly be missed by all of the Rio students, staff, and families.
