Was it a "bicycle accident", or a collision? As a frequent bicyclist myself I was hoping to learn more about the circumstances of what I assume was a collision!

This is very sad news for our school community. I was on the MVWSD school board when Jonathan was the Graham Assistant Principal and a teacher. His passion for the betterment of all students was always apparent. RIP Jonathan Pharazyn. My very deepest condolences to his wife and children.

The world and certainly school districts need more Pharazyns. We are hurting at Monta Loma Elementary. Descansa en paz, maestro.

Sorry for the loss of another wonderful educator. Even though retired, I'm sure he carried his message of the importance of education forever onward. Condolences to his family. RIP.
