Yesterday started the local in-school learning after 3 weeks of remote classrooms.  When I submitted this block 9 months ago, I did not have a name or description. There was no Covid yet.

My kids, friends, students and teachers are all coming together as we try and begin a normal school year, so I am wishing all of them a safe adventure.

COMING TOGETHER

During this time of isolation I look at this block and can’t help but think about how much ...
