Over the past weeks and months, the stories of natural disasters have been heart wrenching. Most recently, our team members in California have been impacted by the states deadly wildfires.  

As of today, more than 41 Californians have lost their lives and 99 more are unaccounted for. The wildfires have destroyed 5,700 homes and charred more than 200,000 acres.   

Our First Student employees are among those who have lost everything in this tragedy; some escaping with only the clothes on their backs.  

While our team members are safe, accounted for and now staying with friends, life will never be the same. 

While we care for students, we also care for one another.
