A MESSAGE FROM DR. T
                                                               
Dear LHS Families,

As members of the Laurel Hall School community, we are committed to being a community of kindness – a place where people truly care about each other, with no place for vitriol and hatred. An important aspect of being part of our community is that together we grieve with those who are grieving and comfort those in need of comfort.

Laurel Hall School embraces inclusion, diversity, and respect for all religions, cultures, ethnicities, and races.  We stand in solidarity with the United States and other nations in renouncing the attacks on Israel.
As much as we all are impacted to some degree by any violence that happens here or around the world, I know that there are children and families in our community who are personally and deeply suffering and traumatized by these recent events. We want to reach out and provide resources to our families to assist in supporting our students during these challenging times.  

Parents, I encourage you to share any concerns or worries with your child’s teacher or an administrator. If the school knows that your child has been particularly affected, we’ll be able to keep a closer eye out and provide support and care as needed.  

Let’s continue to stand together in unity and pray for peace.
 
Sincerely,
Lorraine Trollinger, ED.D.
Interim Principal
