ROCK YOUR PROM: Lets Help Chardon High School (Please Read)


For students, parents and teachers in Chardon, Ohio, this week has been a disorienting one after a high school shooting left three teenagers dead. I can't even imagine what these families are going through.  After such a traumatic incident, counselors focus on two stages of recovery: the immediate response of helping people feel safe and the longer-term process of helping them cope.  After a school shooting, students may be reluctant to return to classes and resume their normal academic life, experts say.

(CNN) On Monday morning, a student identified as T.J. Lane fired shots in the Chardon High School cafeteria. Police say the 17-year-old sophomore confessed to firing 10 rounds and was described by the county prosecutor as having chosen his victims “at random.”

The victims are Daniel Parmertor, 16, a teen who loved to ski and found work maintaining the computerized pins at the local bowling alley, who died Monday; Demetrius Hewlin, 16, who died Tuesday morning; and Russell King Jr., 17, who was declared brain dead early Tuesday. Two others were injured.  

My heart, thoughts and prayers are with the city of Chardon, Ohio. 

KissFM 96.5 (radio station) is having a ROCK YOUR PROM contest and I would love if we could all get together and vote for Chardon High School.  There are no forms to fill out, just a simple click. Please vote (if you can remember) everyday. The staff and students at Chardon High School have been through more than any of us could even begin to imagine.

Feel free to share the link, either this post or the direct link to the contest and help spread the word for others to help. 

Thank you Lisa
