Our hearts are with Silver Rail Elementary’s students, teachers and families, and with our whole community as we grieve.
If you’ve visited Bend, you probably came for the fresh mountain air and almost guaranteed sunshine. And if you keep coming back, there’s a good chance it’s because of the people. Maybe it was a stranger who made room for you at a crowded table, or someone who pointed you toward a spot you’ve gone back to every trip since. That care you felt here is real, and this week those same people are turning their warmth toward each other.
We hope you’ll take some quiet time outside this week, wherever home is for you.
💌 The Silver Rail PTO is welcoming cards, letters and drawings from all over the world for students and teachers. The address is on slide 2, and here’s a link to the PTO’s donation page for anyone looking for somewhere to give: silverrailpto.org/donate
