Letters from the Principal

September 27th, 2019

9/27/2019

 
Dear Parent/Guardian,

I wanted to inform you of an incident that was brought to my attention that happened in the neighborhood last night.  A parent of a former student came to my office this morning to let me know that her son and some of his friends were robbed at gunpoint on 84th and Kostner at 7:00pm.  They were on their way home from being at the park when they were approached by two young men, one of whom brandished a gun, and were forced to give them their phones and a sweater one of the boys was wearing.  The robbers made off with three phones and a White Hoodie with “HOLLISTER” written across the front in black lettering. A police report was filed and the police have a good lead on who the robbers were. Hopefully, they will be apprehended soon.  I just wanted to let you know so you can remember to keep an eye out for your children as they walk around the neighborhood.

Have a great and safe weekend.

Sincerely,

Daniel J. Redmond
Principal

Estimado Padre o Tutor,


Quería informarles de un incidente ocurrido anoche en el vecindario.  El padre de un ex alumno vino a mi oficina esta mañana para informarme que su hijo y algunos de sus amigos fueron robados a punta de pistola en la 84 y Kostner a las 7:00 pm. Se dirigían a su casa desde el parque cuando se les acercaron dos jóvenes, uno de los cuales le mostró una pistola, y se vieron obligados a entregarles sus teléfonos y un suéter que llevaba uno de los muchachos.  Los ladrones huyeron con tres teléfonos y una sudadera con capucha blanca con "HOLLISTER" escrito en el frente con letras negras. Se presentó un informe policial y la policía tiene una buena idea de quiénes eran los ladrones. Esperemos que sean detenidos pronto. Solo quería hacerle saber para que recuerde vigilar a sus hijos cuando caminan por el vecindario.

Atentamente,

Daniel J. Redmond
Director
