    “Without a national model for school-based crisis preparedness, school districts may have inadequate emergency preparedness programs or lack programs altogether” (Clarke and collages, 2014).

Lost in the world of the puzzle, I caringly placed each piece into its home. With every move of my hand, the scrambled image would gradually become clearer to my mother’s eye. As each small wooden piece found its way into the larger plan, there were moments where I would be so attentive to the puzzle that no words could break the trance.…
