I am going to have many more parent meetings through Zoom next year! So much easier for many working parents or parents who don’t have evening childcare.

@JoyceCarolOates I actually liked it. I am an avid reader and have no idea if I’ll be able to follow the supernatural part of the plot when I read it. I thought the ending was clever.

@Meg_Medina What a beautiful, amazing speech and perfect ending to my first #NTTBF18. I am carrying Meg’s word with me: abundance. Hoping to make her proud with abundant courage, tact, grace, and advocacy.
