In light of Friday’s tragedy, the Sullivan School District students, staff, and community members will dress in blue in honor of the elementary student, Tyson Mendoza, who lost his life in the bus accident. Blue was Tyson’s favorite color.
The Arcola School District will wear blue on Monday as well, as a way to show our support.
It takes a village and then some to help heal after such a tragic event. Please, continue to keep everyone involved in your thoughts and join us and other communities by also wearing blue. 💙
