It was Christmas 2020 for me. Opening our presents on Zoom is not the same!
I hate it that you have to go to work in fear.
We had a student a month or so back make a threat on social media to kill some students and he listed their names. The schools were put on lockdown, and he was taken away from the school. I never heard what happened later with him. It was at our high school. I work at the primary school. It is scary that we all have to go through things like that. Our resource officers have been walking the buildings since the Texas shootings. I look for a lot more changes with safety and security when school starts back up in August. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

I'm sorry you had a scare at your school. We live in really troubling and trying times.
