(New Orleans – May 24, 2022) — "No family should have to go through the loss and grief the families of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas are going through this evening," said NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) Superintendent Dr. Henderson Lewis, Jr. "Our hearts break for their school family, and our thoughts and prayers are with them. What took place is truly disturbing, and these senseless acts of violence must stop. I believe our community and communities around the nation should come together and prioritize the mental health of our young people, neighbors, and the community as a whole to put an end to such tragedies."
