There are not enough words of gratitude that can express the appreciation for the 31 head staff and  teacher assistants who provided a safe and comforting time for 110 of our very youngest Rebels on campus during the Dec. 6 shooting. Their extended lockdown time required a great amount of patience, emotional strength, and team collaboration. Their creative spirits pulled through in managing food, play, rest, and all the basic routine needs under a shelter in place condition. They are truly UNLV Strong!
