How very sad. I read on Fairfax Underground that the boy may have been a victim of bullying. I wonder if that is indeed the case.

Dear Thoreau PTA Board and Friends,

This week has been a very emotional week for students, staff and families. Thoreau is fortunate to have an incredible team of student service professionals to support our children and their teachers through this difficult time.

Many of you have asked how you could help our grieving family. The parents of Dennis have shared that they are in need of financial assistance to help pay for funeral and hospital costs. Our business partner, Navy Federal Credit Union has established a Memorial Fund in his name. Parents and community members wishing to provide financial support may make a donation to the "Dennis Olaneta Saenz Memorial Fund". There are three ways to donate to the fund.

a check made payable to the Dennis Olaneta Saenz Memorial Fund may be dropped
off at Thoreau's main office;

a donation may be deposited to the fund at the NFCU Branch office located at 820 FollinLane, SE, Vienna, VA 22180;

a donation can be mailed directly to NFCU, 820 Follin Lane SE, Vienna, VA 22180.
