Stay Calm, Stay Aware, Stay Safe & Stay Hopeful
"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." Desmond Tutu
Hello, My Front Street School Family!! I hope you all are doing well during this different and difficult time. I do not think that there is one person who has not been impacted by the Coronavirus (Covid-19) in some way. The unexpected and drastic change in our lives, has caught most of us off guard. Change is not always wanted but is often necessary. It has been necessary for our school building to be closed, but school is still in session. It has been necessary to maintain social distancing, but we are still present and here for you. This newsletter will provide you with some information, tips and resources as we navigate through this pandemic. We will stay together, be supportive and always stay hopeful.
"La esperanza es poder ver que hay luz a pesar de toda la oscuridad". Desmond Tutu
¡Hola, familia de My Front Street School! Espero que todos estén bien durante este momento diferente y difícil. No creo que haya una persona que no haya sido impactada por el Coronavirus (Covid-19) de alguna manera. El cambio inesperado y drástico en nuestras vidas nos ha tomado por sorpresa a la mayoría de nosotros. El cambio no siempre se desea, pero a menudo es necesario. Ha sido necesario que nuestro edificio escolar esté cerrado, pero la escuela todavía está en sesión. Ha sido necesario mantener el distanciamiento social, pero todavía estamos presentes y aquí para usted. Este boletín le proporcionará información, consejos y recursos mientras navegamos por esta pandemia. Nos mantendremos juntos, seremos solidarios y siempre mantendremos la esperanza.
Peace be with you,
Mrs. Butler-Crayton
