Dear Sunland STEAM Academy Families,
It is with a heavy heart that I share the heartbreaking news that our beloved social studies teacher, Ms. Cynthia Araiza, has passed away unexpectedly. Ms. Araiza was not only a dedicated educator but also a proud former Sunland student herself. She returned to our school to give back to the community that shaped her, inspiring generations of students with her kindness, passion for teaching, and unwavering support.
We are sharing this news with you over the weekend so that you have the opportunity to speak with your child in a way that best supports their emotions and understanding. We know that processing this kind of loss can be difficult, and we encourage you to have open conversations with your child about their feelings.
To support our students and staff, we will have a full team of social workers and counselors on campus beginning Monday and throughout the week. Additionally, personnel from the district office will be present on campus to provide extra support during this difficult time. If you feel your child may need additional support, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Additionally, the following community resources are available for grief and emotional support:
Grief Support for Children and Families – Phoenix Children's Bereavement Support | 480-951-8985
Crisis Line – 602-222-9444
Mind 24-7 (Mental Health Support) – 844-646-3247
Ms. Araiza’s impact on our school community was profound, and we will deeply miss her warmth, dedication, and the love she had for her students and Sunland as a whole. Please keep her family, friends, and all those who loved her in your thoughts during this difficult time.
If you have any questions or need guidance on how to talk with your child about loss, please reach out to our school office. We are here to support you and your family.
On behalf of Sunland STEAM Academy and the Roosevelt School District and with deepest sympathy,
Amanda Hicks
Principal
