Library assistant Nancy Hendricks passes away
Nancy Hendricks, library assistant, passed away this morning, May 3.
Principal Karen Calcaterra sent the following information out to the Lafayette community:
It is with great sadness that I share the news that Mrs. Nancy Hendricks, library assistant, passed away this morning unexpectedly in her sleep. This loss has been felt deeply by the members of our school community.
Nancy was a quiet, gentle soul and possessed the ability to brighten up our school. She served as our library assistant for the last eight years. Before coming to Lafayette, she was a classroom and library assistant at Green Pines Elementary School, serving the district for more than 20 years.
Be assured that our sympathy and prayers continue to be with the Hendricks family during this very difficult time. There has been an outpouring of love and understanding, and I’m proud of our close, caring Lafayette community.

The buttons are passed down to the new STL Spark executive board members each year and they are encouraged to place them on their backpacks to help raise awareness about human trafficking. My sister, [Class of 2020 alumni] Grace Kirtley, started STL Spark when she was in high school and she would have people carry it on after she graduated, Mary said. Last year I got invited to join the board again with my sister, senior Patty Kirtley, and so weve been working on carrying her legacy a bit. Its become somewhat of a family project.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IMG_5696-e1700061260167-600x400.jpg)
