The AEA 13 crisis management team lended assistance in preparing announcements and providing grief counseling to Boyer Valley students and staff. When requested by teachers, AEA counselors went into the classrooms Tuesday to read announcements and to answer any questions. School administrators also planned to send a memo home Tuesday advising parents on how to help their children deal with Mrs. Lapke's passing. "She was a vibrant person going out to enjoy a beautiful day," said School Superintendent Debra Johnsen. "It's a terrible loss to all of us." Johnsen said Mary Ann was known for statements like "eat healthy" and "go vote." "That's what she would be telling us today since it's election day," Johnsen added. "We're going to sorely miss her; she touched a lot of lives," Johnsen said. "She was committed to help the kids, not only with their medical needs, but also their emotional needs and social needs."
