RoadRunner Review: Easter
Principal’s Message:
I have found it exceptionally hard to get anything done on some days. And other days I am grateful to have extra time to be productive.
I imagine our students feel the swing of up days and down days. Days when they are excited to see their friends on zoom meetings and grateful for something to do. And other days when it feels like a slow drag to get through the details of any classwork. I’m also certain that this extends to parents, caretakers…all of us right now.
I think we ought to honor the reality of the “grief” that this time in our world’s history holds. As a community that believes fervently that we are not alone in our suffering, I think we must acknowledge the suffering and the need for a Savior that slices through that suffering and walks among us. That is my prayer for you this important weekend—that you are comforted and find hope in the presence of the Divine.
