Like many here in Los Angeles, we are stressed, shocked, grieving, and overwhelmed.
We are grateful that many members in our community showed patience and grace as our school administrators—who had no power, internet, or phone access—worked diligently to spread word about the unexpected closure on Wed, Jan 8.
The PTA will continue to help school admin broadcast critical updates. If you’d like to join our effort to create a community phone tree for similar incidents in the future, please email president@mwpta.org.
For now, here is a quick (and-not-by-any-means-exhaustive) list of resources we've put together to help channel this grief and disbelief into rebuilding and support for our neighbors and loved ones. Email communications@mwpta.org with any donation or volunteer opportunities you’d like us to add to this document.
You can still donate to the Direct Appeal:
