Very sweet.

Well said and I (and I'm sure thousands of others in our community) totally agree.

New Mom - Very well said.
I would also like to express my heartfelt sadness for the tragedy. It has had a very deep impact on me and my family. I am so very appreciative of all the teachers and what they do every day for our kids. I just wish we could do more to return their kindness and sacrifices.

I agree with you New Mom, very well said. I thank all the teachers and administrators for all they do for our students. This board does not reflect the feelings of most parents. We appreciate and thank all the teachers for sharing of themselves to our children.

Thank you, New Mom! It is so nice to see a positive posting on here. I have just about had it with all the negativity about our lovely town. As the mom of a college graduate who attended Mohr, Hart and Foothill, I whole-heartedly agree with you. I felt fortunate every day that my son had the opportunity to attend these great schools and get to know some of the kind and dedicated teachers there. I join you in your appreciation of our Pleasanton teachers. Happy holidays to all of them, AND to you, New Mom!

New Mom,

I like to think that everyone would behave heroically under such circumstances to protect everyone present regardless of age, race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status, socioeconomic status, or stance on political issues such as gun control and health care funding.

Yours for a better world, one in which, for example, teachers with children that have mental health issues think twice before keeping 6 registered firearms in their homes.

Nice post and I totally agree. My children have had the best teachers here and I feel so grateful to them and so lucky.

My children also had the good fortune to be taught by kind and caring teachers in Pleasanton. I trusted and appreciated them, and am so glad to see that my feelings are shared. Let's try to keep this positive and supportive attitude in the forefront of our conversations, when speaking about those who teach, care for, and protect our precious children.

I just wanted to add my voice to the others here in agreeing with "New Mom". I'm grateful that my kids have had such wonderful teachers here in Pleasanton.

I wonder how many Plutonians are willing to give up their life to save a child or adult?

There are registries for individuals who are willing to give up a body part so that another person may live. How many of the thousands of Plutonians are registered with a registry and willing to hand over a body part to a stranger? just asking...

It's tragic what happened to the children and adults who lost their lives. May they all rest in peace.

Our three children had some extremely wonderful teachers at Walnut Grove, Harvest Park, and Amador. More currently, my grandchild has had excellent teachers. Our extended family is grateful for the caring and learning experiences these educators have provided. New Mom has said it far better.

Our family has a 6th and an 8th grader at Pleasanton Middle School. I am so grateful for the amazing teachers that are in their lives. We are incredibly lucky!
