A community is in mourning after a woman and three children were killed in a house fire.
Jennifer McMullen, the principal of Bluenose Academy in Lunenburg, identified the woman, Kaylea Savory, as a teaching assistant at the school.
McMullen also named two of the children, Harley Savory in grade six and Hendrix Savory in grade three.
McMullen says additional staff will be at the school Tuesday to support grief counselling efforts.
