Dear Seahawk Families:

 

You may have heard about a tragic crash that took place in the community last night, Sunday, November 3rd.  This afternoon I had the opportunity to offer my condolences to the family of Carter Smith, a junior, who was killed in the accident. The family has given permission to share this information. No additional information has been released due to legal restrictions on public information involving children, Virginia Code § 16.1-301. The police posted a news release earlier today that can be found at:

Our sincere condolences are extended to family and friends of all involved, and to all members of our community who may be hearing of this terrible incident. I will maintain contact with the family and share about funeral services as that information becomes available.

 

The unexpected death of a young person is very sad and difficult to process and can have an impact on anyone, whether they knew the person or not. South Lakes will provide counselors and clinical team members tomorrow, Tuesday, from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. Students should gather in the Lecture Hall. We will have additional supports on Wednesday as well when all students return.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Kimberly Retzer
