I sent this to all of Moore High.  Students will be devastated to find out that the most influential teacher of their secondary education is experiencing such a loss.  Please let me know where I should direct students because I expect a huge response.  I cannot go one day without hearing how amazing Ms. Unsicker is.   These kids love her, as do all of us.

Subject: Our friend Shelley Unsicker!

 
I’m pasting a note from Courtney, one of Shelley’s fellow students at OU….what can we do to help?
 
As some of you have discovered, Shelly's house and all of its contents (including her thesis!!) burned to the ground last Saturday. I spoke with her last night, and she is staying with her parents, and very upbeat. She said that a friend has loaned her a vehicle, the insurance company is taking care of her, and she doesn't need anything at this time.
 
Several of us who know and love Shelly want to do something for her even though she insists that we don't. We would like to present her with a money tree and card from all of her friends. If you can't donate to the money tree, we still want you to sign her card to provide her encouragement.
 
You can get with me (410-4060) or Denise Phillips for any more info. Also, I'm only sending this email to people in my mailbox. Be sure to forward it to others who know and love Shelly who might not be included.
 
Thanks!!!

I have other contact names as well: Summer Rider at Southmoore, Elise Robillard at Westmoore, and Tamara Lookabaugh at Moore High School…Tamara, do you mind filling us in??
