On Feb 5, 2017 Melissa Guadalupe Hernandez, a student at Jim Thorpe Fundamental, lost her life in a tragic car accident. Hernandez was riding in a Honda Civic, with her father, when their car was broadsided by a Toyota Camry, according to the SAPD.

Melissa was a vibrant 9 year old girl full of life. She was dearly loved and will be tremendously missed. Her parents are struggling to cope emotionally and financially.
