Dear NCA Community:
Yesterday, a heavily armed assailant entered the Covenant school--a Pre-K to 6th grade Christian school--in Nashville and fatally shot three children and three staff members. The assailant was shot and killed by the police. While the motive for shooting has not been made public, it appears that this person left a note or "manifesto" behind.
My heart aches over this and similar tragedies. I wholeheartedly condemn such senseless acts of violence. No parent should have to receive a phone call from schools about the loss of the child's life due to shooting.
We at NCA promise to do everything we can to make our campus safe for our students. We will be vigilant and proactive, we assure you. We will take this occasion as a sober reminder that our children's safety is our collective priority and responsibility.
I ask you to join me in praying for the victims' family members, that God will give them peace and courage to endure through this painful tragedy.
Sincerely,
Jason Song, Ed.D
Principal
New Covenant Academy
