Curated by Adrian Ruiz

This article captures the difficulty in keeping schools open during the rise in omicron cases. Educators, thank you for everything that you are doing for our youth and families. If you don’t hear this often enough out there right now, let us say; “Thank you and you are loved for your sacrifice and care of our most precious resource.”

Excerpt from article: “Every educator NPR spoke with described navigating an emotional storm as the omicron variant continues to spread. They’re trying to give kids continuity, warmth and normalcy, while also watching out for signs of illness that can send students and teachers home abruptly. Teachers say they’re reliving the scary days of the early pandemic and wondering what is going to happen next.”
