Good morning, GEHS and MDE Families.
As you may already know, the crossing guard who serves our students at the intersection of Madison and Buckey, Dave Peavy, was struck by a car this morning.
EMS responded to the scene and immediately began treatment. When they arrived, Mr. Peavy was conscious and the crew covered him with a blanket to provide warmth.
That is all we know at this time, but will continue to seek updates throughout the day.
If your student needs support, please contact any of our counseling or administrative staff.
Sorry to start the day with bad news. Please keep Dave in your thoughts.
Thank you.
Gardner Edgerton School District
