Celebrating 10 Years of Sara's Corner


Recently, family, friends, and current and former district staff remembered Sara Shulman at a 10 year Celebration of Sara's Corner.

Sara was a second grader at Tripp Elementary School when she passed away in December of 2000. Her Tripp classmates are now seniors at Stevenson High School.  They huddled together Thursday night on Tripp couches, known affectionately as "Sara's Corner," and shared memories with Caryn Shulman, Sara's mom.

In January 2001, Sara's classmates wrote and illustrated a memory book about how special Sara was to them. As they leafed through  this book once again, they reminisced about their fun play dates with Sara and how much Sara loved everyone. "The community really pulled together during a difficult time," notes former Superintendent Dr. Doug Parks who was in attendance, along with Sara's principal Dr. Vivian Powers-Richard and some of her teachers.
