Marysville School Fire

On our way home from school Tuesday, Carson and I couldn’t help but notice the HUGE amount of black smoke streaking across the sky.  So I did what everyone else was doing, I followed the smoke.  This is what I saw….

A sweet little 90 plus year-old school was on fire.  I have never been this close to a fire and is was scary.  Carson and I actually got there before any fire trucks so these pictures are right at the start of the fire.

Luckily, all the students and staff got out safe.  Fire drills really do serve a purpose!  BUT, all the kids lost all their school supplies and belongings.  Koin6 with the Dollar Tree are asking anyone who can to donate.  They would like any and all school supplies the kids would need along with backpacks, coats, lunch boxes, hats, etc.  You can make your donation at any Dollar Tree location in Portland.  If nothing else we all can pray that this transition will be easy and safe for all involved.
