Dear Friend of Wellness:
We are focused and ready now that the School Board, with the guidance of our Superintendent and the evident commitment of its administrators, has voted unanimously and is moving forward to opening our schools in a progression of phases...starting with distance learning .

Now more that ever everyone is an essential piece of the puzzle as we support our District in this huge endeavor of making it safe for everyone. We cannot do everything at once...we must be careful and cautious. With an open heart, willing to listen to our experts and moving forward with great humility, we will get to the finish line of this COVID-19 journey successfully.

It takes a village and we need everyone to lend a hand. We are confident this too shall pass in due time. With everyone doing their part in this relationships, the core of it will be empowered by TRUST .

 The best proof of love is trust! ...let's keep humility at the core as we navigate through these coming weeks and we rekindle valuable and precious relationships by the continuation of working in concert creating a  Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child   culture.

Let's keep pressing on and...
Never Give UP!

Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children
and each other...
let's grow    STRONGER    together!

Be healthy and safe ~ Paula
