SO... for our GLcomets.net website, I used Foxbright and added a "Plain Text / Embed Script" block (this block can be found in the "Special Content" section when you add a new block in Foxbright)... and then I pasted in the embed code from Canva. I think it looks pretty good.

GLPS Families,
As many of you are now aware, we had a loss in our school family today. Our students and staff learned this morning that a Beagle student died in a traffic accident last night. Throughout the day, Beagle and GLPS engaged our Crisis Intervention Team composed of district and community-based professionals trained to support students, parents, and school personnel during difficult times such as this. In addition, throughout our district, we have counselors available for any student who may need or want help or any type of assistance surrounding this loss. While your child may not have known the student, the death of a young person in a community can bring up questions, concerns, or fears anyway. To those ends, we encourage you to feel free to use our resources. This LINK has some information that may be useful to you in helping your child at home.
Here at GLPS, we are fortunate to have the resources to support students every day, but particularly in times of crisis. Our counselors, social workers, administrators, facility dogs and hosts, deans, student support specialists, teachers, and support staff all play a role in creating a safe space for our students, and the relationships that are built every day and throughout the year help us navigate difficult times while creating a regular climate and culture of support and learning. In addition, the relationship we have with Eaton RESA, our local faith leaders, and a wide range of community-based professionals truly live up to the ideals embedded within our strategic plan. As you know, we believe in an inclusive learning environment where every person is valued; we believe the GLPS staff are professionals who are vital to the health and future of the Grand Ledge community; and we believe in partnerships between the family, community, and education stakeholders for the success of GLPS. This plays out on a daily basis in our schools, but is especially highlighted when navigating a tragedy, as we did today.
Thank you for your support, and thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with you and your children everyday. As always, I am #proudtobeacomet.
Dr. Bill Barnes
Superintendent of Schools
