We’ve tried to help students and teachers grapple with these events — at Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook and Parkland, and in Aurora, Orlando, Las Vegas, El Paso and Buffalo. And now … with the shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 children and two adults. But we’re former teachers ourselves, and we know these resources only go so far. Like you, we were planning celebratory end-of-the-school-year activities, and now, instead, we are offering — yet again — attempts to make sense of the senseless and to mitigate trauma for a generation that has never known school without active shooter drills. Above all, we want you to know we are listening. If it helps your students to share their thoughts and feelings publicly, we have spaces for that [here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkclNSP0TzaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNS8yNC9sZWFybmluZy9yZXNwb25kaW5nLXRvLXRoZS1zaG9vdGluZy1pbi11dmFsZGUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9sbl8yMDIyMDUyNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD02MjQ0NiZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmctbmV0d29yayZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9OTM0MzYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmKGUs6PYnY2CftSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) and [here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkclNSP4QMAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjIvMDUvMjUvbGVhcm5pbmcvaG93LWhhdmUtc2Nob29sLXNob290aW5ncy1zaGFwZWQteW91ci1leHBlcmllbmNlLWFzLWEtc3R1ZGVudC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1JmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjIwNTI2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTYyNDQ2Jm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZy1uZXR3b3JrJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD05MzQzNiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYoZSzo9idjYJ-1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).
