To say that this has been a stressful week would be an understatement. But then again, the last week before school starts usually is. You might even say I was feeling a bit desperate.
Yesterday I attended a meeting on Health & Safety. Yes, we talked about Covid-19 procedures and Blood Borne Pathogens, but there’s so much more to consider with preschoolers. Meals & snacks will be back to family-style (with some adjustments). We have new electronic forms for many things but it seems like new ones are always being added. And then there are the severe allergies and other health issues of some of our students this year. We have an additional meeting today to create a specific plan for a couple of kiddos with the most severe issues.
To help ease the stress of yesterday’s meeting we were given Dove chocolates each time we commented or answered a question. There are two things that I love about the these little candies. First, they are bite sized and only 43 calories (therefore they are guilt free). Second, the positive message on the inside of the foil wrapper can really lift my spirits.

I DO feel a little less desperate. Thank you for the pick-me-up, Barb!
My favorites are, “Laugh it off” and “Hands are meant to be held.” 🙏 for your start back to school next week.
