I’m hearing from many parents about how teachers are performing heroically in difficult and scary times to provide comfort, humor, empathy, and instruction. Teachers are always superheroes. Now they seem to have even another gear of awesomeness. They are the best of #WhatUnitesUs

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

I truly don't think enough can be said about the work teachers have done over the past several months. Some teaching online *and* in person. Making lesson plans for both. Some caring for their own children and relatives while they teach. They deserve both praise and better pay.

Welcome John R. Lewis High School to the FCPS family! Rep. Lewis was a youth leader taking us to the right side of history. How appropriate our next generation of leaders will be educated at John R. Lewis High. I hope they will lead us to the right side of history as he did.

The news hits deep. And to the core. John Lewis dead. Can it really be? He had strength, courage, and heart enough for many lifetimes. We were young once. So many memories. So much distance traveled. So much further to go. Farewell my friend. We shall overcome someday.

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

John Lewis was an extraordinary man. He gave this world so much. We were so lucky to share the earth with him.

Warming nicely to near 70 today with partial sunshine. There are many great outdoor gathering spots in DC, MD & VA. They’ll still be there when this is all over. Enjoy today on your property or in your neighborhood only with those you live with, keeping your distance from others.

Budding Journalists: I know times seem tough. More than tough. But the sun will rise and we need your energy and creativity and passion. Keep hoping, keep working hard and finding all of the poignant stories around you. Pursue impact and be ready for when the daylight returns.

I hear from parents of young children that many are crawling into beds in the middle of the night. My advice: hug them tight.
