The events of the day remind us that even here in our small town, unspeakable tragedies can occur. Although the family involved is not enrolled at Alton Central, community ties between neighbors can bring about strong emotions. If your child feels the need to talk with a guidance counselor, or any other adult they feel comfortable with, please contact Mr. MacArthur at 875-7500 or jmacarthur@sau72.org so that he can ensure that the contact is made.

A thank you to the staff and administration at ACS for their calm and professional handling of the situation. Your children are in good hands.
