I had the pleasure of teaching Hansome during COVID remote schooling. He was such a bright part of our online classes. His smile and laughter were so refreshing for everyone who met him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
I was Hansome's fourth grade teacher. He was down to earth and made me laugh. He was friends with alot of his classmates and adults. I remember him being so forgiving to another student that was in the wrong. He will be missed and I pray for your family during this time.
I had the honor of serving as Hansome's school principal at Franklin Elementary School in Wichita for several years. I remember his wonderful smile and sweet, caring spirit. My sympathy is with your family at this difficult time!
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
