We were extremely saddened to hear the news that one of our Tahoma Junior High students died early this morning after a swimming accident at Lake Wilderness yesterday.
Some Tahoma staff will be on hand tonight at Olson Mansion, where New Community Church is opening its doors to students, parents and community members who would like to talk about their loss or simply be with others at this time. Counselors from the church and school, as well as youth group leaders and other adults will be available.
The gathering is at 7 p.m. today at 21401 244th Ave. S.E. (across the street diagonally from Tahoma Middle School).
The name of the teen will not be released unless the family would like it to be.
