Someone was watching over us today!


At about 11:30 this morning, Tyten's teacher called me again, and said that he was acting out in class(something minor again). At 2:20 she called me again, and said "I have Tyten here in the library, like you asked (which I didn't ask her keep him after school). So, quickly I got the girls out the door and on the road. Just about 1/2 way to the school the Hwy was closed due to an accident( which I couldn't see). I called the school to tell them I would be late in picking up Tyten because of an accident on the Hwy, the school replied with a silence, and then" Mrs. Dow, you can rest a sure that Tyten is safe and sound in the library, but the accident involved his bus.

Scappoose School DistrictScappoose, OR 97056
On Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at approximately 2:30 PM, Scappoose School Bus Route #9 was transporting students on Hwy 30 when it was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a passenger car.We regret to inform you that the driver of the passenger car was fatally injured. The driver was reported to be neither a student nor district staff member. The bus driver and three student passengers were transported to a Portland area hospital with minor injuries. The remaining students were transferred to another school bus and taken to their school. School counselors and support staff were there to assist these students and their parents. As of 9:30 PM on Wednesday evening, all students and the bus driver have been released from the hospital.

Can you even believe that Tyten didn't get on the bus, I am so thankful.. And we are so happy that his friends from school are all okay. Only one student from his class has a broken ankle, and some cuts. It's been the scrariest day of life.

Thank you, Tyten for once again being the class clown!!! I love you.........
