The carnage made a stark and horrible contrast to the images of everyday life on the school’s website and Facebook page.
The day before the shooting, administrators posted on Facebook pictures of staff members sharing gifts and snacks as they celebrated the impending birth of the assistant head of school’s new baby boy.
The school also posted a notice that it was seeking two new employees – a kindergarten aide and a fourth grade teacher. And photos proudly showed boys competing in the opening day of the school’s first golf season at the local Cheekwood Golf Course.Article contentThe private elementary school is affiliated with Covenant Presbyterian Church, part of an evangelical movement that branched off from the more liberal Presbyterian Church in 1981.
The school’s motto is “intentionality, authenticity, curiosity,” according to its website, which is filled with video images of smiling students singing, dancing, and tumbling in a gymnasium. Its focus, the website says, is on “shepherding hearts, empowering minds and celebrating childhood.” Classes are small, with an average size of 12 students, about a quarter of whom receive financial aid, the website says. Tuition starts at $11,500 per year for kindergarten and rises to $16,500 per year for fifth and sixth grade.Share this article in your social network
