Happy Monday to everyone. I hope everyone is feeling rested after the weekend and I am praying that you are all feeling well and staying safe. Please remember that there are now 7 schools that are giving out breakfast and lunch every day. And there are many other resources available. If you were unable to get a Chromebook and still need one, please contact me and I will look into getting you one from the school. If you need anything and are unable to get it, please let me know. I am more than willing to help you and will help you get what you need. Reach out to me via email or remind. Although we are not seeing each other now, I am still here for all of you! I miss you all dearly! Thank you for sending me videos, recordings and pictures. I would love to hear from all of you even more. 

Please take care and stay safe!

Love Ms. Wentland
