COVID-19 pandemic did a number on all of us. Distance learning is not every teacher's or students first choice of learning. Stay-at-home policies and closed schools ended one school year, started a new school year and will most likely be the new-norm-for-now.

As the year 2020 comes to a closure, let us take the time to reflect on this past year. As we are entering the final hours of this unprecedented year let us never forget the lives lost, the sadness COVID-19 brought over the entire world. Let us think positive and be hopeful that 2021 will be the year of healing, recuperating, hopes and new beginnings.

May your New Year be filled with nothing but happiness.

With respect and gratitude
