Dear Class of 2020,

I miss all of you.

I know this moment is frightening and stressful. Maybe it feels to you like the entire world has been shaken up like a snow globe. It feels that way to me.

I know you are being inundated with lots and lots of information. I know some of you (maybe many of you) are feeling lonely. I know some of you are heartbroken to have your 8th grade year possibly end this way.

I also know, because I’ve spent time with you, that you are smart and kind and good. I know that you are funny and creative and resourceful and resilient. I wish I could make it not scary but I’m here if you need me.

I am certain that things will continue to shift and change, that some things will have to be further adapted, and that some things will not go smoothly.

Thank you for being yourselves — we’ll just figure it out together, one step at a time.

Kim Saunders
