katie utehs spoke with students and joins us live to tell us how the district is helping students still struggling. katie? >> reporter: john, we're at the one school that's still closed. it's very obvious why. you can see the split along the parking lot here at stone bridge school. many of the students that we've talked to, they don't even know of loma prieta. they were not old enough or not even born, rather, when the major earthquake struck. this is very traumatic for them, some of the most traumatic events any of them have been through. with that in mind, the district is trying to help them cope. the familiar sound of school. and the sight of familiar faces is what many napa students need. >> i was excited to see people and to make sure they were okay. >> reporter: sunday's 6.0 quake rattled the earth and their world. >> i still think it will shake. i haven't been sleeping well. >> it was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. >> reporter: all napa valley schools with the exception of stonebridge are deemed structurally sound. >> they are in the safest place they can. >> i li
