A message from Garrison ES
Good afternoon Garrison family,
I am sorry to share that our beloved longtime DDOT crossing guard, Ms. Keesha Marshall, passed away early this morning following a battle with cancer. Ms. Keesha was a unique spirit who welcomed every Wildcat to school with unbridled enthusiasm. She loved our school family and children more than words can say, and will be dearly missed. As we learn more about how we can support her family and celebrate her life, we will share that.”
Thanks to Janet for sending this solemn scene from earlier this week: “The driver reported that it’s a hearse, soon to bring someone to rest in Edgewood Cemetery.”
