Missing Student

Standley Lake Community,

Its with a heavy heart that I post this message.  As you may have seen and heard, a student from our immediate area has been missing since Friday morning.  10 year old Jessica Ridgeway a student at Witt elementary went missing on her way to school Friday morning.  I cannot stress enough how important it is to talk to your son/daughter/niece/nephew/grandson/grandaughter about the importance of awarness and what to do in a stranger danger situation.  Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Jessica and to the Witt community.  If you have any information that can be helpful to the Westmisnter PD, please contact them immedaitely.  You can also receive updates on their twitter page at twitter.com/westminsterpd. 

I want to thank this community for showing up in mass to help search and support the efforts of Westminster PD on Saturday.  I received many thank you's and call about how thankful people were to see so many of you out supporting this search effort. 

Please contiue to keep this family and Jessica in your thoughts and prayers as the search continues.  If your son or daughter is needing emotional support through this please have them see one of our counselors immediately.  Lets work together and get one of our own back home to her family.

Thank you-
