Subject: Moment of Silence - November 12, 2024 Council Meeting Moment of Silence for Jose Emiliano Zamora
• Our Santa Clara community grieves the profound loss of one of our own. • At only 14 years old, Jose Emiliano Zamora was a beloved child, friend and student who touched many with his kindness and spirit.
• Jose was described as so full of love and ambition to be the best at everything he could possibly be.
• This unimaginable loss is a stark reminder of the unseen burdens that individuals carry in our community, especially our youth.
• In moments like this, words often fall short, but we can find strength in unity. • Let us all honor Jose by fostering an environment where every young person feels seen, valued, and supported.
• As a community, we must redouble our commitment to openly discuss difficult struggles and challenges, to support each other, and most importantly, to let our children know that they are never alone.
• To Jose Emiliano Zamora's family, our hearts break alongside yours.
Let us remember, cherish, and honor Jose while working to ensure no other family faces such a tragedy.
• Together, we must strive to build a community of empathy, understanding and support for our children.
