A Bowling Green high school student passed away on Thursday, May 16, 2024, he was member of the senior class. The student who is yet to be identified was said to have died in a motor vehicle accident. According to statement released by the Dr. Frederickson, the Bowling Green high school superintendent, the main focus at this point is about support as we take care of the families, our students, staff and all who are impacted by this loss. Our teachers, counselors and administrators will be working diligently to meet the needs of individual students and staff members.
The graduation ceremonies that were supposed to take place on Friday, May 17th, have been moved to that of tomorrow, Saturday, May 18th, at seven o’clock in the evening, and will take place in the gymnasium of the Bowling Green high school. It has been decided to cancel the additional graduation practice that was intended to take place this morning. In the aftermath of a catastrophe, every individual experiences sorrow in a unique manner and has a unique set of requirements. For a great number of students and staff members, school is a secure environment in which we discover a sense of community. Counselors who specialize in grief counseling recommend that schools maintain as much of a normal schedule as they can since routines offer comfort to a significant percentage of individuals.
For those students and staff, they will have additional counselors from neighboring districts to help Friday morning. This is a community that comes together to support those that are hurting.
