There seem to be endless lists of things that kids cannot dobut there is still so much love in our city, and so many people that want to help teachers and parents. This is our way of coming to your home, through a screen, to tell you we are right here with you, cheering you on and standing in awe of your amazing work. Keep it up moms,dads, siblings, teachers and caretakers. You are making a big difference.”
