Chisholm Update - December 18
Happy Holidays
Chisholm Families
Often times we all get reflective towards the end of the year looking back over the journey. 2020 proved to be unique for a variety of reasons (the pandemic, the weather, the economy), and challenges we've all been forced to overcome have had an impact on everyone in some shape or fashion.
With the start of a new year, we also look toward the future with hopeful optimism that a Covid vaccine can provide. We all long for a return to normalcy. 5-day a week school. Social gatherings and events without fear of getting sick. Daily interactions, which allow us to connect to one another just as we did prior to last March.
As we wind down 2020, I wanted to share that I'm grateful for the resiliency, determination, flexibility, and compassion displayed by the students, parents, and staff to overcome the numerous challenges we've encountered this past year. We knew going to A/B Learning, wearing masks, and managing positive and quarantine cases would be difficult. We knew limiting contacts and reducing visitors in the building would not be ideal. We knew difficult decisions were going to be made throughout in an effort to keep everyone safe. Just like the recent ice and snow events, many of these difficult situations are oftentimes out of our control.
As we enter into the holiday season, I hope you all find the opportunity to pull back, relax, and safely connect with your family and friends. I hope you can look past all the challenges this past year has provided, and find silver linings here and there to accompany the growth we've experienced along the way. Take care, be safe, and we look forward to seeing the possibilities 2021 will bring our way.
