As for Ondria, the Assistant Principal of Olney High School, Andre Beckett, had this to say about her: “She just embodied love, and it’s just the hardest thing to go through, just learning of her death.” To put it simply, she loved everyone. Just be extremely patient with both the students and their parents, because I believe it is something that we are all going to miss a great deal.

At school, the days have become even more challenging as a result of her efforts to explain what happened to her to each and every one of her kids.
