MADISON, Wis. — On Friday, students at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS) returned to classes nearly four weeks after a student shot and killed a fellow student and a teacher and injured several others.

School leaders acknowledged the sensitivity of the day. They said things fundamentally changed for them.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions for many in the community. Police have yet to identify a motive for the shooting.

They said it will take months for them to sift through thousands of pages of documented evidence, as well as the shooter’s social media history.

In just the last three weeks, the Madison community has stepped up to show their support for ALCS.

Dozens of Culver’s locations across Wisconsin held fundraisers to support the school on Monday. Both of Madison’s Texas Roadhouse locations donated 100% of Thursday’s profits to ALCS.

All of those proceeds will go toward an ongoing fund that United Way of Dane County has been running for the school since the shooting. As of Friday morning, that fund raised $254,815. 1,565 people donated to the fund.

As they ease back into normal life at the school, leaders said they are working with the Office of School Safety to ensure students will be taken care of physically and mentally.

“It will feel different,” said Principal Doug Butler in a video message to families. “It will look different. It is different. There are security changes seen and unseen. We have also been trained to offer trauma informed care to our students and to recognize trauma in ourselves.”

Leaders said they are grateful for the outpouring of support from the community, which they said they have felt and appreciated over the past few weeks.

Friday morning, the message board outside of the school read “Thank You Madison.”
