Colon Cancer Claims OM Teacher

Sad news: Donna Sunderdick was an absolutely first-rate teacher, a person who truly cared for her students. She touched the Columbia Talk family, and we mourn her passing.

From OM Principal Frank Eastham Jr.:

Dear Parents,

We are all saddened by the death of Donna Sunderdick, one of our English teachers. Mrs. Sunderdick died earlier this morning after a long battle with colon cancer. We have Student Services staff members and members of the County Crisis Intervention Team (school counselors, school psychologist, pupil personnel worker and heath assistant/nurse) present in our school today and tomorrow to assist students and faculty with questions and grief, which accompany a situation such as this.
