Dear Trojan Family, It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of a community member who was so close to so many, including many of our students and staff. This loss is sure to raise many emotions, concerns, and questions for our entire school community. Our school has a Crisis Intervention Team made up of professionals trained to help with the needs of students, parents, and school personnel at difficult times such as this. At our school we have counselors available for any student who may need or want help or any type of assistance surrounding this loss. We encourage you, as parents and community members, to also feel free to use our resources. Anna Bergerson, a local mental health counselor, will be available at the Drummond School tomorrow, Tuesday October 11, for any community members who are in need of grief support. Contact Anna directly at 406 274 8990, or contact the school if you would like to schedule a time to meet. We are saddened by the loss to our school community and will make every effort to help you and your child as you need. Sincerely, Mr. Dean Phillips Superintendent, Drummond Schools
