My Project

My students, after the hard-fought battle of the pandemic, are eager to return to normalcy. The wipes and cleaning cloths will help us maintain a clean environment throughout the long day of regular school and after school. Of course, snacks do make the time go by quickly and are something to look forward to as they come for tutoring, make-up credit or prep for exams.

Finally, I have never seen a class with enough tissues!

Everyone is cautious. Students want to feel comfortable even as mandates are lifted, and people around them relax a little.
