Hannah is a 15 year old sophomore. She is a dedicated cadet of the SKHS NJROTC Wolf Battalion. She has dreams of enlisting in The US Navy with high hopes of being accepted to the military working dogs program.

On Thursday November 20, Hannah woke up for school, she put her uniform on and headed to school full of excitement for her Battalion inspection later that day where she had hopes of being recognized for her efforts. Her life would drastically change just hours later.

She and another student (also a proud cadet in the NJROTC) were victims of a violent act by another student.

Thanks to the quick actions of the 2nd victim, Hannah is still with us. We spent the next 8 hours in the trauma unit still wondering if "this is it."

Hannah received several stitches in the back of her head and was diagnosed with a TBI (Traumatic brain injury) that could alter her life forever.

She and her family will be faced with many upcoming challenges and medical bills.

We are asking for any help you find in your hearts to give.

Another way you can help is by contacting the SKHS, the South Kitsap school district and the Port Orchard Police department. Please demand that they all be held accountable, demand justice for the 2 students that were victims, more response training amongst the staff, and request more support for the other students who witnessed this harrowing scene.

Some children know school as their only safe place and that has now changed for them. No child should ever experience this.
