Reminders and Videos

April 7, 2020

Dear Families:

What a beautiful spring day!  While we know everyone wants to get outside, please remember that the school campuses are closed in order to promote social distancing.  

The schools continue to reach out to students in multiple ways!

We are having fun on social media!  Teachers at Thoreau and CCHS are sharing personal messages and photos.  @concocrdcarlislehs @thoreauelementaryconcord

Concord Middle school is greeted by people of note every morning.  Earlier this week, Concord resident and author Gregory Maguire, had the honors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FINm-pV1Bd8&app=desktop

The Alcott teachers made a video to tell their students that they miss them:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/171hzTwsHwZq6ISN6NIMHy6uhGAt1N3eN/view

Thank you!  All of the thank you notes to Emerson and first responders are assembled in this video and were shared with Emerson directly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jw_da8BDT5LdO1Nu5SgOul9D52UUHU0W/view?usp=sharing

I am thrilled to share the many great things happening in our schools.  That said, it is a very difficult time for some.  Please keep those directly impacted by illness in your thoughts.

Best,

Laurie
