Fall has arrived and the kiddos are back to school or remote learning. What a difference a year makes. To all those hardworking teachers…still putting in their full time…we thank you. For our Moms, Dads, Grandma’s and Grandpas or those that have stepped up to take over remote teaching your children…May God bless you.
For the continued safety of others, if the kiddos are feeling sick…keep them home from school. School nurses are not equipped yet to test to see if he just has the sniffles or if she has the virus.
