Micro Elementary School Newsletter
March, 30th, 2020
The last several weeks have been unprecedented. The Coronavirus has wreaked havoc on our world. Please focus on the health and safety of yourselves and your families. Family first!
It is comforting to know we have the Micro Family to make it through this difficult time. Please continue to support one another. Reach out to your teammates and your work family.
Reminder: As we continue to telework, it is important to remember to take time to disconnect. Take a walk, play with your kids, read a book, etc.
Tomorrow and next week will surely bring about new obstacles, however I believe we will get through this together!
Thanks for your continuous dedication,
TJ
