This week completes our first week of school for the 2020-2021 school year! It was a return like no other. Or was it? There are still some things about a new school year that not even a pandemic can obscure, change, or take away from us here in FWSU.
Bus drivers are still cool…
It’s still a special time for all of us… Kids still smile with their whole faces. No mask can hide that…
Recess, outdoor games, and PE still rule…
Kids are still makers… And our teachers are still creative and full of enthusiasm…
Nurses still make us feel safe… New teachers are still bringing new ideas and fresh perspectives…
And “Back to School” time is still a beautiful time of year…
We look forward to continuing the school year with all the joy and enthusiasm we felt this week. We know there may be challenges ahead, but we also know that our collective expertise, supportive relationships, a love of learning, strong communities, and “a belief in what is possible” will guide us through and inspire us to keep moving forward…together.
