MARYSVILLE, Wash. — As this community (click here) continued to look for answers to why a popular 14-year-old would turn on classmates with lethal malice, and struggled to imagine how it might have been averted, details began to emerge about the attack, and especially the role of a young teacher many students are calling a hero.
The teacher, Megan Silberberger, was only about six weeks into her first job out of college — as a social studies teacher at Marysville-Pilchuck High School — when she came into the cafeteria on Friday morning and saw students on the floor and another student firing a gun....Here is an example of a Millenium. She is typical of the strong hearted people growing up in our country where community is as much a part of their identity.
Megan Silberberger, a first year teacher that looks as though she was part of the school population. Incredible.
