Letter written by a teacher from Palisades High School, Holly Korbonski. My Dear Students- It’s all too much. It’s all too vast, too cruel. The images flicker on our screens, and though we see them—charred ruins, smoldering skeletons of what was—we can’t comprehend them. Our minds refuse to stretch that wide. We search for words, but none fit, none hold the weight. All we can seem to say is “Gone.” Childhood homes…gone. Family houses…gone. palisadesfire
