Saving Sycamore: The School Shooting That Never Happened

In the wake of the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida, the nation is reeling from the senseless loss of life. But there is hope to be found in the story of Sycamore High School in Columbus, Ohio.

In January 2018, a 17-year-old student at Sycamore High School was arrested after police found a hit list on his computer. The list included the names of 17 students and staff members that the student planned to target in a school shooting.

The news of the planned attack sent shockwaves through the Sycamore community. Parents were terrified for the safety of their children. Students were afraid to go to school. And teachers were unsure how to keep their students safe.

But instead of giving in to fear, the Sycamore community came together to avert the tragedy. School administrators worked closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety of the students and staff. Parents and community members volunteered their time to help out at the school. And students themselves took part in a "Walkout for Safety" to demand action on gun violence.

Thanks to the efforts of the Sycamore community, the planned school shooting was prevented. No lives were lost. And the Sycamore community emerged from the crisis stronger than ever before.

The story of Sycamore is a powerful reminder that we can make a difference in the lives of our children. By working together, we can create safe and supportive schools where all students can learn and thrive.

Here are some of the lessons we can learn from Sycamore:

• Be vigilant. Pay attention to the signs that a student may be planning to harm themselves or others.
• Report suspicious activity. If you see something, say something. Don't be afraid to speak up if you're concerned about a student's behavior.
• Work together. Schools, law enforcement, parents, and community members need to work together to keep our children safe.
• Don't give up hope. Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. The Sycamore community showed us that anything is possible when we come together to protect our children.

Saving Sycamore is a must-read for parents, educators, and anyone concerned about the safety of our children. It is a story of hope, resilience, and community. It is a story that will inspire you to make a difference in the lives of our children.
