shooting,
from A1
The adults who had lined
up to talk at the event — the
mayor, the school-district
superintendent, the police
chief and others — repeated
a similar message: The community would get through
the tragedy; it wouldn’t be
easy, but they would get
through it.
But hearing and seeing
Victoria — and the many
like her — people couldn’t
help but wonder how deep
the emotional damage had
gone and how long it would
last.
She dug into her purse
and found a box of Kleenex.
She was using her hands to
wipe her tears; the tissues
were for her mom, sitting
nearby.
Three wounded students
remained hospitalized in
Everett and Seattle.
Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14,
was in critical condition at
Providence Regional Medical
Center. Hospital officials said
Sunday she was “receiving
ongoing, continual monitoring and care.”
Andrew Fryberg, 15, was
in critical condition in the
intensive-care unit at Seattle’s
Harborview Medical Center,
hospital spokeswoman
Susan Gregg wrote in a news
release.
The third injured teen,
Nate Hatch, 14, was also in
Harborview’s intensive-care
unit but his condition was
improving, according to
Gregg. He was listed in serious condition in the hospital’s
trauma center.
The Snohomish County
Medical Examiner’s Office
has not released the name of
the girl killed in the rampage,
but she was identified as Zoe
Galasso by a family friend.
Investigators are still
searching for a motive for
the shooting. On Sunday, the
Snohomish County Sheriff’s
Office released no new information on the investigation.
The meeting in the school
gym offered students a
chance to split into smaller
groups so they could talk
about their feelings with
counselors. The parents did
the same, in another room.
One of those counselors was Randy Vendiola,
there with his wife, Monica.
They’re both Native Americans, and Monica is a member of the Tulalip Tribes,
just like Jaylen Fryberg and
several of the victims.
Randy Vendiola said he
knew Fryberg’s family.
“He was a hunter. He
provided for his family: elk,
deer,” he said. “He was a
fisherman. He led ceremonies.”
And, what happened?
“Only God knows. Only
in the U.S. do we see children
shooting other children. In
Russia, it’s terrorists. Here,
kids.”
Sophomore J.T. Torrey, 16,
was there with his parents,
James and Debby Torrey. J.T.
said he had just finished his
English class when he heard
gunshots. He began running outside, and then finally
sought safety in a classroom.
J.T. said what one hears
a lot in these interviews: “I
never thought it’d be at my
school.”
With classes canceled at
Marysville-Pilchuck for the
week, J.T. looked ahead to
the following week when the
school reopens.
“I probably won’t go to that
cafeteria for the rest of the
year. It’d be eerie to go back.”
With the other Marysville
School District schools open
this week, Marysville police
announced Sunday night
they would increase officer
presence at the other schools
so students and staff members can feel safe.

Some stay all morning; others
for an hour or two, depending
on their schedule.
More batches of dough are
mixed throughout the morning while other volunteers,
such as Judy Schuler, cut out
the dough circles where others
placed a spoonful of filling.
It was Schuler’s first time
volunteering at the event
and her first time making
bierocks.
It was a day off from school
for students and teachers, but
some, such as freshman Ashlyn Pfeifer and her mother,
Kathy Pfeifer, TMP English
teacher, volunteered.
“It’s a huge endeavor,”
Kathy Pfeifer said of the
fundraiser.
She’s never made bierocks
before and was happy to learn
how to make a bierock.
“My family at home is
excited about it,” Pfeifer said.

Sarah Fisher said.
Sarah’s father, Bob Leikam,
teaches junior high social
studies and is vice principal, and her mother, Trudy
Leikam, is a cook at the
school.
Lee Staab, a 1954 graduate of TMP forerunner St.
Joseph’s Military Academy,
volunteered for the first time
this year. He’s looking forward
to when his grandchildren,
ages 7 and 10, likely will be
TMP students.
He doesn’t cook at home,
but had no trouble with his assigned job sprinkling the topping on the pans of kuchen.
“It’s pretty basic,” he said.
Sandy Losey and the
school’s kitchen staff coordinate the volunteers and
cooking event.
It’s usually easy to get
volunteers, but the 6 a.m. shift
sometimes poses challenges,
Losey said.
George Gatschet, a 1957
graduate of SJMA, was on
clean-up duty for dishes and
counters.
Gatschet volunteers not
only for the fundraiser, but
“he volunteers in the kitchen
almost every day,” Brull said.
Still more volunteers came
in the afternoon to package
the baked goods for pick up
by those who ordered them.
All of the money raised
goes to the school’s transportation fund. Brull wasn’t sure
how long the school has been
having the fall fundraiser, but
it replaced fundraising breakfasts that had been taking
place for the purpose.
“Every year the process
gets better,” he said. “A lot of
the same people volunteer.”
Last year, the project
raised approximately $8,000.
Using money from the fund,
the school added two new
14-passenger buses last year.
“That way, we don’t have
to use the big buses,” Brull
said. “It gives us flexibility.”
