Silver Rail Elementary students walked back into school Thursday, Nov. 13, for the first time since a Bend teen killed students and a teacher on Oct. 15. Children walked, biked or were driven in by parents or bus on a bright fall day. Bend Police officers were on campus, and school staff welcomed students back. A chain-link fence next to the front entrance was covered in red and purple fabric hearts, one for each student to carry with them. The trees at Stone Creek Park across the street had sparkly purple ribbon wrapped around their trunks. Families felt strongly about returning to a site where many had traumatic memories. “My daughter is excited to go back, but my wife and I still have some feelings of uncertainty surrounding how things are going to go,” said Ian Inman, parent of a 6-year-old Silver Rail student. “Ultimately, though, we are ready for her to go back, too.

Just 30 years after Teton County was founded, Denzil Burnside’s life in Teton Valley began. With 80 years as a local, Burnside has a strong connection to the land and its community, but he feels especially honored when Veterans Day rolls around.Programs put on by schools warm his heart, surprising him every year with their ability to memorize so much material to honor those who have served.Burnside was enlisted in 1967 in the Army National Guard, serving for three years and just over a year in Vietnam. Programs just for veterans remind him of how special the United States is to him. “It took people like me and everybody else and, [we] give up, die, for our country ... and it means so much,” he said. “People that serve in the country in the United States, they need to be proud of what they’ve done.”Veteran Michael Coyle, a 50-year local, also remembers his service, despite the confusion of serving in the Army during the Vietnam War.
