Greetings Fam,

As we get closer to the opening of another school year we want to make sure we take a proactive role in making sure our students have what they need to be successful.  There are a lot of uncertainties and with most school districts showing numbers in disproportionate discipline of Black students, it is our responsibility to stay ready to address all issues that our students experience. We will not be accepting the status quo when it comes to our babies anymore. Our children deserve to be loved, valued and seen for who and what they will become.  They are brilliant and there are people who refuse to acknowledge it. We believe if resourced and cared for propoerly our children will thrive.  As the Delta variant becomes more active we have been discussing whether our students are mentally and emotionally prepared for another shutdown.  I now ask you, are you prepared for things to shut down again?  How is your mental health?  Have you been asking yourself what happens if theings get out of control again?  I have been asking myself a lot of these questions and much more.  If you have not connected with our support networks or groups, please do so. We are here for you and your family. 
If you have a need please don't hesitate to reach out.
