Amid all of the events of recent days, we continue to be blessed with so much…fresh air, heat in our houses, power for our appliances and computers to work, warm clothes, clean water to cook and wash our clothes, good food, and time with family. There is so much goodness that we still have. Amid this crisis, a joy…my sister became a Grandmother for the first time! A boy…a novelty in my family because we seem to only have girls. Such a surprise in 4 generations!

I miss my kids so much. Please know that I am thinking of each of you every night. I go through my class and say a special prayer for each one of you at night and send a virtual hug. I can’t wait until we are all back together again. Be well and enjoy these unexpected days together. Love,

Mrs. Smith
