‘‘Twas the night before school

 ‘Twas the night before school 

But not like you think 

We’ll be at home in the morning 

Signing on with a link 

We’ll Zoom with our teachers 

As we wave through a screen

We’ll fill time with our specials 

And lots of P.E. 

The longest spring break

Also stretched into summer 

But not everything has been such a bummer

We shared lots of giggles and went on long walks

And shared what scared us through thoughtful talks 

I hope these days are remembered well 

Even if we didn’t focus on words to spell

Patience and kindness should be packed for the days ahead 

As we remember what others before us have said.

“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before.  You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.”   - Elizabeth Edwards
