WELCOME TO THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR!
This year, we will need each other like never before. We will need to lean on each other, cheer for each other, support each other, understand each other and celebrate each other like never before - and yes - the “little victories count.” When all is said and done - this will be a moment in time for all of us and your children. So, let’s make the moment count to the best of our ability - in a way that sets a lifelong example for them.
In the end. when we return to the school format we “used to know” - our experiences now and how we interacted with each other will be important because the dust will have settled.
Let’s take care of each other, L-H.
