Tuning In: Embrace those things that cannot be cancelled… and well done to team Elliot
The good news is that the following have not been cancelled - going outdoors, listening to and playing music, family, reading, friends, singing, laughing and hope.
IT’S halfway through March. Schools will close until after Easter because of the dreaded corona virus. Easter ends on Monday, April 13, and I’m sure that some folk are thrilled at the idea of a long holiday; however, there is probably a large number of people in a quandary as to what to arrange for their children. Teachers, enjoy this well deserved break.
