Prayers Needed


I know that I haven't posted in a LONG time, but I am posting now- asking for prayers. We have a MASSIVE wildfire spreading through our county. The fire started yesterday, in a neighborhood that my students live in, about 5 miles from my school. It has now burned more than 15,000 acres, over 60 houses and damaged 100 additional homes. We have students and staff members who have lost homes, been evacuated and some waiting to see if they have to leave their homes.

Please keep our children and their families in your prayers.


Here is the link - the videos and pictures are unreal.


Maggie and I are very lucky- we get to sleep tonight in our own beds, and not have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night with a fire at our back doors- but we have over 2,000 people that cant say that tonight.
To my staff members and my babies at school- I love you all and will be thinking about you throughout the night. Please be safe.
Much love to all- Dawn

I am safe at home. Thanks- I am really worried about my kids and my staff members- we have probably 200 kids that live on 90 and 8-10 staff members- then when you count Carolina Forest- we have lots of people we love over there- its just really scary- Love you too!
