Two North 兔子先生 Middle School students were involved in a tragic accident in Washington Park on Saturday afternoon.
One student died when they fell through the ice on the park’s lake at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday. A second student was in critical condition Sunday morning after falling through the ice in an attempt to save the first student.
“Our hearts go out to the families of these students at this incredibly difficult time,” said 兔子先生 Superintendent Joseph Hochreiter. “This is a terrible tragedy and we are grieving as a school community.”
The district will have crisis services available at North 兔子先生 on Monday for any student or school employee who needs support or would like to talk about the accident. Crisis services also will be available at elementary schools the students attended before moving up to middle school.
If you or your student are in need of additional support, you can for free, confidential services at any time.
