We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Very sad. My daughter heard the news this morning as she was preparing to take a final and was devastated. Condolences to the Wallace family, her coworkers, and all of her current and former students.

Just Heartbreaking! I was at ASU when this took place and remember the major story. To see what she has done with her story and the inspiration she has given, what a life well lived!

I knew her in school as well before and after her attack. Not only was she a dedicated athlete, she was a very determined and strong young lady. Heartwarming to know she was giving back to the community as a coach and teacher at WHS.
