Today, my thoughts are with all of the Keyes family, the emergency responders who answered the call to Platte Canyon High School, and the community that was impacted by the events of September 27th, 2006.

While I was hiking to the 14,000 foot summit of Mt. Bierstadt yesterday, the Foundation's Mission Statement, which still stands today eighteen years later, and a quote came to mind.

Mission. To restore and protect the joy of youth through educational programs and positive actions in collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government entities. I am honored to be in the room every week as part of that collaborative effort to protect the joy of youth, and at times, guide apathy into action by creating advocates.

Protecting the joy of youth. I will never apologize to anyone for helping keep kids safe. I spent a part of my career with some of the best professionals in the world protecting people we never knew. Some of that still remains in this mission. We will never have the opportunity to meet every student, staff, or community member, but we can empower the participants in the room with the ability and resources to carry that torch.

Quote. "People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime". When applied to the Foundation, I truly believe I have crossed paths with people all over this country for a reason. Some of those relationships remain, and although it may only be for a season, it was part of the path and was meant to be. Lastly, thank you to the Keyes family for allowing me the opportunity of a lifetime and giving me a voice.

Was great to be back in Hunterdon County yesterday providing the School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management (SSAVEIM) class locally along with Jay Hunter and Donna Dorsi Snyder. Was certainly nice to see familiar faces and how many in Hunterdon County have kept up with keeping school safety a priority! Thanks Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office for hosting, and also to those that attended from Somerset/Union/Monmouth counties and Berks County, PA - always adds to the training when you get to discuss what others are doing in other counties and states!

Today is the 16th year mark of the Platte Canyon High School Shooting. In 2007, on the first year mark, the Keyes family shared this message, and we want to share it again now.

“When lightning strikes. And the afterflash sears clenched eyes. And the outcome feels far away from possibility, or even reality... Choice still exists. The choice of sorrow. The choice of response. The choice of dignity. The choice of community. The choice of love.

Last year our world changed. For my family, and many of you and yours. And since then, our community has lost friends and family. But we can show each other, our kids and the world, that even in the face of tragedy, we can laugh, we can help, we can be excellent.

We just can.

There's been a lot of talk about the kids. Sometimes it's hard to show kids that the world is an uncertain place. But I think it's OK to let our kids know, even though the world is uncertain, we love you. And you, my child, can embrace life and laughter and vigor and strength and future, even in the face of uncertainty or loss. Not just "Life goes on," but "Seize every spark of life as you go fearlessly through it."

Some may try to make September 27th a day of somber grieving. Resist. Some may shed a tear, I know I will, but I'll also revel in having been touched by a smart, fiery, compassionate, stubborn, friendly, tough and fragile, loving young woman.

So I ask this community, the folks of Bailey, to raise a glass, blow a kiss or give a nod, to the memory of Emily and all of the others. But spend the day living. Show your community that you're part of it. Make something good happen. Do something kind. Or just pass a friendly greeting along. Play rock-n-roll.

And if you happen to be at an organized or spontaneous gathering, look around and recognize what amazing people we are. Squint at the brilliance of our humanity. And with wide-eyed wonder, face what the future might bring.

I love you guys.”

Honored to have had the opportunity to speak at the Bergen County Association of School Security Professionals meeting in NJ about Reunification planning, drilling, and exercising this week. Schools often look at Reunification as a daunting task. It doesn't have to be. There are tools and training available that can help guide and prepare schools, law enforcement, emergency managers and other key stakeholders. Reunification is the first step in the Recovery process and it is vital for all those impacted by an incident we have a plan and the right people in place to facilitate it. Thank you Critical Response Group for hosting and adding another tool to Reunification to keep everyone working under a common operating picture, The "I Love U Guys" Foundation and C3 Pathways for providing the method and tools to train, drill, tabletop, and exercise Reunification.
