On behalf of the entire Rockingham County Schools family I would like to express how relieved we are that the four students involved in a traffic accident earlier this afternoon are in stable condition surrounded by their loved ones and friends. We are extremely grateful for the professionalism and quick care shown by first responders and the staff of the hospitals where our students were taken. We offer our fervent prayers for a quick recovery and stand ready to support these students and their families any way we can.
