North Oconee Experiences Another Loss

At North Oconee, we once again find ourselves in some very difficult days dealing with the loss of one our Titan Family.  Matt Coscia , a senior, tragically died yesterday.  Details as to this loss are still coming in, but initially it appears that he took his own life.  We ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with this extrodinarily difficult loss.  As a parent of a student who may be dealing with this loss with great difficulty, it is quite helpful to have some advice on ways to help your student, and where to turn to when it is too big for you to deal with.  We are including two handouts that are designed to help you help your student.  Please feel free to turn to the counseling staff at North Oconee for anything.  We are here to serve.  This weekend, if you are concerned about how your student is handling this loss, resources can be found at your church home, extended family, or through one of the resources in the link below.
