RICHMOND, Va. — The community is remembering Sadie Terry, the 14-year-old girl who police say was shot by her father last week and died over the weekend.
Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras remembered Sadie as a “vibrant personality with a deep curiosity for and love of the world.”
“She was committed to coming to school every day with a bright smile on her face, working through challenges no matter how difficult. She lit up the rooms she walked into, was comfortable with herself, and was incredibly resilient. Sadie was deeply creative, adored color, and was always interested in trying a new food. She also had a strong sense of social justice, and always stood up for anyone who was being mistreated. Over the last year, she’d become a peer mentor for sixth- and seventh-grade girls, and truly relished the role,” Kamras wrote…
