Thompson ended the post with a simple message"
Come ready to start the healing process and #RECLAIMTHENEST
For the remainder of the week, Stoneman Douglas students will have a modified schedule with the school day ending at 11:40 a.m. through Friday. The Freshman Building where the shootings occurred has been sealed off and no students will be allowed inside.
Last week, Thompson made an emotional video, promising each and every student a hug, if they need it, when they walk back into the school.
Looking forward to tomorrow Eagles! Remember our focus is on emotional readiness and comfort not curriculum: so there is no need for backpacks. Come ready to start the healing process and #RECLAIMTHENEST 🦅🦅🦅🦅
