A class project, for her students."They had the opportunity to write to the family specifically or just the police department, Hahn said. "Any kids that wanted to do it, were able to."The cards created by the middle schoolers were filled with drawings and sincere messages."They put their heart and soul into it, says Hahn. They wrote cards the like they were talking to their own family."Elizabeth, or Mrs. Hahn, says that she's seen the pain this situation has brought onto the entire area. She's also seen what it's meant to her students."They have feelings too, she says. They are a part of this community as well and it's affecting them just as much as it's affecting us."In a Facebook comment Thursday, Eliijah Vue's Aunt acknowledged the gesture and said thank you to the entire class.
