MARYSVILLE — Deborah Parker, a member of the Tulalip Tribal Board and the mother of a Marysville-Pilchuck High School student, admitted her son was nervous about returning to school Nov. 3. “He shared his fears and sadness with me,” Parker said. “Recovering from this is a slow-moving process.” An estimated 90 percent of the students at M-P
returned to school for the first time since the Oct. 24 shooting that claimed four lives and left two other students hospitalized. Parker urged her fellow parents to reach out to their children. “Just stop for a minute and listen to them,” Parker said. “I’ve been asking my son questions I never asked him before.” M-P’s school day started SEE M-P, PAGE 2

More than 200 friends and family stood along the road leading to the Tulalip Reservation Nov. 6 to welcome home Nate Hatch, a survivor of the shootings at Marysville Pilchuck High School. Nate, 14, was shot in the jaw and spent nearly two weeks at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Another victim, Andrew Fryberg, 15, remained in critical condition there. The four other victims in the shooting Oct. 24 in the school cafeteria have died. Funeral services for Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14, took place on the reservation Nov. 6-7. Funeral plans for Gia Soriano, 14, have not been made public. A memorial for Zoe Raine Galasso, also 14, was held last weekend. The funeral for the shooter, 15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg, took place last week. He took his own life after shooting his friends.

live in this state,” Gentry said. “The military sent the Northerners to train down South, and the Southerners to train up North. It was very rewarding because I got to see a wide variety of places. The islands were neat, too.” SEE VETS, PAGE 2
