Newport Hight School Announcement

Dear Newport Students:
The family of Anna Uchikura gave us permission to share that Anna recently lost her battle with a long-term illness. A junior with a passion for art, Anna courageously persevered through a medical condition to bring her gifts of compassion, generosity and kindness to the Newport halls and classrooms. She passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 25th, surrounded by her family. She will be greatly missed.
There will be a service for Anna on Sunday, 1/30, at 2:00 p.m. More details will be shared with students as they become known. We will also send this information in a follow-up email to you.
The Newport counselors are working with students and staff in a variety of ways. Students have been invited to come to the counseling center if they need to talk to someone, or if they just need to be alone for a bit. We have also made counselors available to visit a classroom, if necessary.
Thank you for all your support for Anna. We were happy to have her attend such a fine school. We walked the campus every weekend.
