Over the weekend, an Oxford High School 11th grader passed away in an automobile accident. This accident left\u00a0two other students injured as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaden was a valuable teammate on the OHS Archery team and Cross Country. He was known as &#8220;a friend to everyone&#8221;. Families in our community were forever changed this weekend and the Oxford School District extends our deepest condolences to the Taylor family and to\u00a0Jaden\u2019s\u00a0friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the high school is decorated to honor Jaden\u2019s love for archery. Students are taking time to write messages on display in Jaden&#8217;s memory.\u00a0\u00a0School counselors and therapists from our various campuses are available to our high school students for grief counseling today and in the weeks to come. In situations like this, teachers become grief counselors too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like adults, when kids don\u2019t know what to say, they often say nothing. Common symptoms of grief, like distractibility and sleeplessness, can look like illness and similarly affect a\u00a0child\u2019s ability to learn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a parent of a high school\u00a0student, please be\u00a0cognizant of your child\u2019s silence or distractions in the days to come. If you need support as a parent, please reach out to your child\u2019s counselor as well. We have highly-trained counseling staff who have resources to help you and they want to help.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bradley Roberson<br>Superintendent\u00a0<br>Oxford School District<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14544\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, March 5, 2022, at approximately 4:00 am, the Lafayette County Sheriff\u2019s Department was dispatched to County<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1010,"featured_media":118091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[8650,8070,20342,20778,20779,15693,20780,5,4],"class_list":["post-118090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-baptist-memorial-hospital","tag-college-hill","tag-county-road-102","tag-county-road-103","tag-jayden-taylor","tag-lafayette-county-sheriffs-department-2","tag-le-bonheur-childrens-hospital-3","tag-mississippi","tag-oxford"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/FatalAccident.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1010"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118091"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
