May your coffee be strong and your wi-fi connection-stronger.
May your mask be breathable and your face not too sweaty. May your plastic sneeze guards stay standing May your Google Meet attendance not be glitchy. May your Bitmoji at least sort of resemble you. May your students walk six feet apart in the halls. May your mask breaks feel rejuvenating. May the asynchronous learning be meaningful. May the synchronous time feel like a community. May the children be excited to learn No matter if through a screen or a mask or a plastic sneeze guard. May you be happy to teach Through a screen or with a mask. May you have patience, grace, flexibility. May you be resilient. May you be healthy. And, May they say years from now that the teachers never gave up and our children were better for the lessons that were learned. We've got this. Happy Back to School 2020!

I love this Kathleen. A true sign of the times. Thank you for the well wishes. I wish all the same to you. We will get through this better, stronger and wiser. I know it! Here’s to another year of doing what we do and doing it to the best of our ability. #bettertogether

We won’t give up. All the best to you today...and tomorrow. Your students are so lucky to have you as their teacher.

The perfect - and clearly heartfelt - sendoff to school this year. I cannot help smiling at many lines - face not too sweaty, sneeze guard in place, Bitmoji "at least sort of resembling you"... "patience, flexibility, and grace" has been my principal's mantra this year. So needed, so true.We will all learn so much more than we can imagine this year - yes, time will tell the story! Thank you for these uplifting words and the smiles, Kathleen - power (especially strong wi-fi!) and good cheer to you and all yours. Here's to the collective learning journey. :)
