A Message From Kidzu's CEO?

Friends,

Another senseless tragedy has occurred at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. First and foremost, our thoughts and our hearts are with the families and community in Uvalde. I held my daughter, Mary Ricci, extra tight last night, and spent most of a sleepless night thinking about how to keep her safe in an uncertain world. Mary Ricci is only seven months old, so her questions haven’t started yet, but I know that many of you have children looking to you for answers. I don’t necessarily have all the answers to those hard questions but I do have resources to share. We will be ready at Kidzu to offer space for families to come together — to play, to question, to grieve and most importantly to feel cared for and valued.

In solidarity,
Jamie DeMent Holcomb
CEO, Kidzu Children's Museum
