Good Afternoon,
Friday Message
As we rapidly approach then end of the year, we need to recognize the anxiety that permeates our schools. Our students are anxious for summer to begin. They are anxious about what summer will entail. Will they be able to attend the plethora of summer camps in the area? What will it be like to be home, possibly alone? What will they eat two if not three times a day? To whom do they turn for support and answers? Who will love them, regardless of what’s going on? What trauma may they be exposed to?
For us as educators, we may endure a similar level of anxiety. What will I do when school is out? Who will I go to find inspiration?
