As the 2019-2020 School Year Comes to an End...

Remember-
How much we have accomplished.  How far we have come.  How much more we have learned, whether it be in the classroom or at home.  How we have changed to become a better teacher, parent and support system for our kids, despite how our world has changed .  How much closer we might be to our families because we have been given the opportunity to be with them much more in these past months.  How much more we appreciate our teachers and school staff for all that they do for our kids.  How hard it has been, but how resilient we all are.  

"Often, when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else."  -Fred Rogers
