A preschool classroom in Shreveport, Louisiana, is grappling with the loss of 5-year-old Braylon Snow, one of eight children killed in a mass shooting on Sunday.
The tragedy has left families and educators alike struggling to cope with the devastating news, especially for the young children who are still trying to process the loss.
Teacher Hall, who had grown close to Braylon, found herself unable to share the reality of his passing with her students, opting instead to take a moment of silence and prayer.
Just days before the tragedy, the classroom had been filled with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming graduation ceremony, where Braylon had been making steady progress and was becoming more independent.
As the community comes together to support the families and educators affected by the tragedy, faith has become a source of strength for Hall, who is praying for the children who were lost, their families, and educators like herself who are left to process the tragedy.
