Reading, Writing, Arithmetic... & Relationships

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Mostly.

It's also a time of increased stress and anxiety for many students and families. As we near winter break, I am seeing the impact of that on my school community.

So this is a gentle reminder, to myself and to others, to keep a special eye out for those students (and staff) who might be struggling a bit during this time.

Because we don't just teach reading, writing and arithmetic. We are a family. And families take care of each other.

Happy holidays all!
