Tomorrow, NY school districts return back to operations. Let’s not forget the monumental work that teachers, administrators and school staff did in 2020. In 2021, let’s continue to do whatever it takes to keep our kids and communities at the center of our work.

Saw the recent news back home in Rochester. What was done, is done. The focus should be moving forward, together, with a fundamental question at the center: HOW ARE THE CHILDREN?

Take time this winter break to unplug and recharge. You’ve been leading, teaching and doing something none of us has been trained to do in a pandemic. I’m proud of how hard everyone has worked to keep kids first! With 2021 on the horizon here’s to better and brighter days! 🙏🏼
