Dear BRIJHS Families,
We are deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Cindy Knerr, our Purple route driver. In her short time at Blue Ridge, Cindy made fast friends with staff and her riders.
We will have counselors and social workers ready to support however needed.
Please keep Cindy's family in your thoughts and prayers and I know that the Transportation Department would appreciate your kind thoughts as well.
