There's one less desk in Mrs. Fox's third grade classroom today at Carlisle Elementary School. Only Savannah Hardin's chair remains there and that too will soon be moved. Savannah's desk has been turned into a memorial, placed in the school lobby where children have written Savannah messages and left hand-drawn pictures for her.
For Principal Donna Johnson there's not a moment Savannah's absence goes unnoticed. "I think the hardest part is seeing that one class line up and there is one missing...even her teacher counts every time they go to the restroom...they come back and see if everybody is out. It's a reminder that Savannah is not there and that's very hard thing for her. I can just see it on her face," Johnson said. Savannah's teacher Mrs. Fox didn't want to go on camera but she did show FOX6 some of Savannah's work. She said that Savannah was a wonderful, happy student who had a love for horses.
"Her daddy called her princess. Every day she would come in the school and just be a little light. Every day she would always say, 'Hello Mrs. Johnson you look beautiful today.' She would always say, 'Yes ma'am, no ma'am. Can you do this for me. Yes ma'am, no ma'am.' Always respected authority," Johnson said. She went on to say that Carlisle Elementary had lost a shining star. "All that I can hold on to at this point is that many people loved her and that she knew Jesus loved her," Johnson said
