What day is it?

It's Saturday.  Although when there's a Pandemic, does the day even matter?!?  We've been socially isolated distant for a whole week now. One exciting thing is that we've been getting out as a family on hikes every day.  We visited Camp Varnum, Fisherville Brook, Ryan Park, and Trustom Pond this week. It feels good to get some vitamin D and fresh air; and story telling or listening to bird is really neat with your family.  You can learn more about other family-friendly hikes at Rhode Island Families in Nature.


Another exciting thing is that we're building a virtual learning path. Our director, Miss Brandee Lapisky, had a vision and became Command Center. All the Education Experts and supporting folks hopped on board and it's been quite a ride!  The model that is being built is also adoptable by other districts so take notice!  To learn more, you can subscribe to A Note From Miss Brandee. That'll keep you in the loop, but you'd appreciate the archived notes as well. I'll share a few graphics so you get a sense of where we are going....

It's exciting to be part of a team that is moving leaps and bounds ahead of most other schools.  It helps that we are a smaller district of 120 students, but this model can be applied and adapted by other districts. If you want to learn more, send me an email.

This may have been one of the longest weeks of my life. I hope the Pandemic is gentle on all of you, my dear friends. Wishing you peace. Sleep well.  I'll keep you posted on our virtual school. 😊
