In challenging times, Fred Rogers is often quoted saying something he learned from his mother: “Look for the helpers. There are always people who are helping.” This proved very true on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 during the tragedy that occurred at Evergreen High School. Our first responders came from far and wide to help keep our mountain community safe.
