Good morning,
I hope this email finds you all well! I was happy to see the number of families who reached out regarding food bags after my Sunday email, and the number of families I’ve seen at the Hallowell food pickup spot. Please keep me posted if there are other ways we can support you during the upcoming weeks.
As I’m sure you have seen, this disruption to routine and the overwhelming level of information about COVID-19 can result in our students feeling stressed and anxious. Below are some resources for not only taking care of yourself, but how to help your children manage any anxiety they may be feeling. Next week I will send along more resources.
Have a great week!
