Welcome Back!

Hello families! What a pleasure it's been to get back into the swing of the school year with your kiddos. Despite the unprecedented challenges of the year, they continue to brighten my day with their stories and smiles. 

But speaking of the year's challenges, whoa! As many of you know, I recently decided to leave Los Angeles for rural California. Seemed like a good time to take a break from city life and enjoy the great outdoors. Little did I know we would be met with a record heat wave and millions of acres of burning land. I taught the first day of school on our porch in 100 degree heat, quarantined from my housemates due to a Covid scare, while soot fell from the sky. Yikes! 

Skies in Penn Valley last week.

But the real champions of 2020 are you, the parents! I am amazed everyday at your herculean efforts to hold things together these days. I see you, I appreciate you, and I want to do anything in my power to help. 

Looking forward to another great year. :)
