Feeling A Little Blah? Focus On What We Can Do!

Mrs. Parnell has heard from a few families in 

the last 24 hours that kids and adults are feeling 

a little down. The teachers are too...The news 

that we will not return to school is disheartening, 

but the decision is intended to keep us all safe 

and healthy.


Give yourself a hug - It is important to respect and 
be open to all of our feelings.

However, maybe we can think about channeling 
some of our energy in a positive direction:
Our kindergartners might enjoy this coloring sheet.  
It can lead to some great discussions.....what can we do?  
Mrs. Parnell and Mrs. Kearney are working to make sure 
the remainder of our school year provides lots of fun and 
learning.  In addition, we will be sharing some ideas of 
ways that students can do things for others.

As families, you might like to know about some resources 
in which you can do some thing to help others in our 
community!   The information below was shared with 
staff today:
Supporting Our Community
There are two ways you can make an immediate impact
to help our families.

1.  Per Korey Barkley's post on the Want Ads, you may
make a financial donation to Womenade to help with the
purchasing of gift cards and other supplies and items to
support families in need.

If you are able, please donate (even $10 is helpful) so
that we may continue to offer support to families during
these scary times.  They take Venmo (@Burlington-
Womenade) as well as PayPal

2.  The Food Pantry is looking for food and toiletry
donations. Items may be dropped off when the Food
Pantry is open (hours posted below) or items may be
dropped off, during daylight hours, at the POD Storage
container marked Donation Center at the entrance to
the Food Pantry at  10 St. Marks Road Burlington, MA.
