As we look back at a year like no other, itâs hard not to compare our collective âbeforeâ and âafter." We all miss the carefree days, before every move required a risk/reward analysis. Lifeâs daily decisions have been hard enough, and those of us responsible for other humans have experienced the compounded impacts of decision fatigue and mental exhaustion. This year has been devastating for some and rough for even the luckiest among us. And yet, there is still so much to be grateful for. As Fred Rogers famously said about challenging times, âLook for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.â As we look back on this intensely difficult year, a handful of dedicated helpers have made a huge difference for our little school and the families who rely on us to keep their children healthy, safe and educated. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank them.
