Teachers did their best with what they had to make it as good of a school year as possible for kids.

But, it was hard.

It was discouraging.

A lot of teachers are feeling battered, bruised and beaten right now. T… https://t.co/g8RRTUuw9v

Birthdays during this time can be tough to make special. We tend to favor experience gifts and things that the kids can DO, but how do you give an experience gift when everything’s closed?
