Statement on shooting, bomb threat, & lockdowns

It was a tough day for Saco. Between the shooting in Hillview Heights, the bomb threat at Thornton Academy, and the lockdowns throughout our school system, it's easy to see how one's sense of security is shaken. 

Maybe some double check their doors to ensure they are locked or start locking them for the first time, maybe some keep their kids away from school tomorrow, etc. The key to remember is we are #SacoStrong. Our community is resilient. We pull together in times of need. We go above and beyond to help those less fortunate than ourselves even when we could use similar assistance. We treat each other like a close-knit family. That's why I love our community. It's steeped in culture, history, positivity, and love.
