Picture
In light of the tragic events that occurred in Lewiston on the evening of Wednesday, October 25th, MADSEC would like to express our thoughts and prayers to the families and friends who lost loved ones or who sustained injuries during this tragedy. 
​
We are deeply saddened, and are sending our thoughts, strength, and support to all of those affected by this unimaginable event. We know this tragedy has impacted our close-knit school communities and during these difficult times may we be there for each other.

​Take care of yourself and others.
