Prayers to the families and friends of senior Emily Lewerenz and junior Danny Johnson. Their lives were lost in a tragic car accident last night. Both attend D.C. Everest High School, and I am pretty sure Emily was the valedictorian for the class of 2023 this year. Devastating and heart-wrenching that this occurred. Never take life for granted because it could be lost within seconds.
