Now that grades are entered for the Summer 2020 semester, I have the next week and a half off until Fall 2020 starts. I’ve worked diligently to get prepared for my upcoming classes so that I may enjoy some leisure time with my family. I start back on August 10th, and my children start the new school year on August 13th. We all could use some time in the sunshine and fresh air with plenty of socially distanced picnics and barbecues. We may venture off into nature if the weather and virus permit, as well. Vacations are important to maintain a positive attitude, refresh the soul, and simply enjoy the fruits of one’s labors. I know I’m going to miss this recent batch of students, but I look forward to meeting my Fall students after summer break!
