“My heart is heavy for the students, coaches and families affected by this tragic accident,” Lowe said. “This is a time when we must all come together in prayer and allow the families space and privacy as they walk through the days ahead. The administration at Minco Public Schools is one of the best in the state and the courage of these young people and their coaches inspires us all.”
Lowe had the opportunity to visit with Minco Superintendent Kevin Sims this morning to receive an update on the accident and those involved. While several remain in critical condition in the hospital, as the superintendent put it, “broken bones heal faster than broken hearts,” and the community is fortunate this was not a fatality situation.
“When terrible situations like these hit a community, it reminds us how important those around us are,” Lowe said. “Oklahomans always come together in our time of need. The entire state is standing with Minco, and we will continue to surround these families with love and support in the days ahead. I encourage everyone to step in and help in any way they can.”
Lowe is working closely with the Minco community to provide assistance and support where it is needed most. The administration at Minco Public Schools is also preparing for students to return and for the school to begin processing this situation together. Updates on the accident, school schedules and ways the community can help will be posted on the Minco Public Schools Facebook page.
