Pawsome News
May 4, 2020
Dear Pawsome Loring Families,
As we kick off Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to acknowledge all of the hard work our Pawsome educators are doing during this time. Mr. Gaita and I met with all teacher teams throughout last week and the common feeling was that they miss the kids and that they feel sad to not be able to see them at Loring each day. They are working hard to support their students and parents during this unprecedented time and are so proud of all the work being done.
I also want to give a huge shout out to all of our parents and guardians that are helping to teach our students during remote learning. I know to be a parent and teacher at the same time can have its challenges! I am regularly being told by my son, "That is not how my teacher does it!" and this is from a 3 year old! I can only imagine the feedback you are receiving from your child(ren). Thank you for all you do as teacher, custodian, school nurse and cafeteria worker these days. Happy teacher appreciation to all of you!
And finally, I want to wish all our Loring mothers a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you take some time for you and know how appreciated you truly are.
Be well,
Sara
