And I would add “we’re in it with and for the kids”! That helps me keep my focus. They’re going through it too. We can be strong for them, and lean on each other when needed - cue the Bill Withers song of the same name!

@StaPyFly @YouTube @Schung118 @CurryAtTheCreek @MCEMSAonline @MCPSSLMP Thanks so much @StaPyFly! I've had teachers looking forward to sharing these stories with students and heartbroken to know they couldn't share from Netflix.

❤️🦧 We can always count on 3.5-year-old Bornean orangutan, Redd, to make us smile. As he crosses the O-Line with his mom, Batang, following closely behind, he reminds us to keep calm, carry on and just keep swinging. Thank you for your continued support. #COVID19

Teachers, parents, students: I've decided to start a daily read-aloud of WONDER! Still figuring out platform, to be announced next week, but I was thinking at 12pm every weekday: I'll read a few chapters and add a little commentary. Stay tuned for details. #WONDERreadaloud
