Happy New Year everyone! May 2022 bring increased normalcy to the lives of all, and a return to safe and healthy living for everyone.
COVID certainly has had an impact on us all. We are all a little more on edge with one another and a little less tolerant. The stresses of COVID could never really have been anticipated until we lived them. For some, we lost houses, jobs and loved ones. For others, we visited food banks for the first time in our lives. Yet, for some, our essential workers, the job workload reached unimaginable heights. For our little people, they felt these added stressors. They were isolated from friends and family. Sports and other extracurricular activities stopped.
We are happy to see some of these return. As we move into 2022, our hope here at Burkevale is that we all dig deep to be a little more kind and empathetic to one another, and pray for those who need it the most. We are blessed to have so many amazing students and staff that work hard every day at school. We are also blessed to have families that realize tough decisions that are made at school are ALWAYS made with ALL students’ well being and education in mind.
Have a wonderful, happy and healthy 2022.
