Dear TUPS Community,

Our hearts are with the TUPS Community as we are deeply saddened following the news of a car accident with serious injuries involving members of our school community.

At this time, please keep the Belloso family in your thoughts and prayers.

We understand that news like this deeply impacts students, staff, families, and the entire school community. Counseling and support services will be available for students and faculty members who may need additional support during this difficult time.

We know many in our community are looking for ways to support the family and come together in hope and compassion. A community prayer vigil is currently being discussed, and we will share additional information as it becomes available and after speaking with the family regarding their wishes.

In moments like this, we are reminded of how important it is to lean on one another, support one another, and keep this family surrounded by love, strength, and prayer.

Warm Regards,

Dr. Gerry Benaquista
