Here is this morning’s update from Pastor Paul Mutchler of the Lanham, Maryland, Grace Brethren Church, regarding the students and staff members injured in the van crash in Orlando earlier this week:
Headmaster Gene Pinkard and a crowd of faculty, students and parents greeted the returning senior class last night with a glorious mix of cheers, tears, hugs and prayers as all but two of the original 19 senior class trip returned from Florida.
Today the injured go to see their local doctors and the remaining seniors return to school.
Principal Burr remains in Orlando with Megan Matthews, and Mrs. Settles remains in Melbourne with Mrs. Veronica Coleman…three reconstructive surgeons expect to perform an eight-hour surgery on her today.
