Obituary For Adriana Kuch
This story is so heartbreaking and it happened right here at home.
Adriana Kuch took her own life after being bullied and attacked by classmates at Central Regional High School in Bayville. Parents of students at the Central Regional District are planning a demonstration to put pressure on the school administration. They’re planning to meet outside Central Regional High School or at a park nearby. The school board will be holding its first public meeting Thursday night, after an emergency meeting over the weekend where the district’s superintendent submitted his resignation.
Without getting into the details of the events or glorifying the bullies, the Kuch family has shared the following obituary for Adriana:
