While I am going to speak to our Priest about the situation, I know he is taking care of matters within this family. In the meantime, I would like to know about any advice from anyone with a similiar past circumstance…
Last evening a seventh grade child was struck and killed by a car during the high school homecoming parade. The events surrounding the event are to date rumors. The family is a Catholic family, who go to Mass regularly, but do not have their children enrolled in the religious education program (just background info about how it relates to our RE class).
As the coordinator for the religious education program, would it be appropriate to have lessons (for the older ones) about death? a memorial ceremony? I don’t want to ‘bring up’ feelings and not have the appropriate staff their to counsel them correctly. However, I’m sure this is be on the older children’s minds and they may bring it up in class and I want the teachers to be prepared.
Any suggestions?
