A tragic boating accident claimed the life of Fletcher Middle School Art Teacher, Joanne Brown. While boating on New Year's Day, Brown's boat struck something in the water and then capsized. In the ensuing events, Brown was drowned.

 All of Fletcher Middle School was in a somber mood coming back from the winter break. Any life ending prematurely can have an effect on a great many people. This can often apply even more so when the death involves an avoidable incident.
