Tomorrow is the first day of our spring break. We had a mini spring break just before the quarantine started from 3/13-3/15, which got extended only 1 extra day for the staff and teachers to get distance learning up and running. There have been a few glitches here and there but overall it has been amazing! For the last 3 1/2 weeks Collette has been completely engaged in all aspects of school. She has had meetings daily with all of her teachers and administrators, special events, appropriate amounts of school work that has allowed us to keep her busy and learning throughout the entire day without overwhelming her or us, she has had opportunities to video chat with her friends, have physical, mental, and artistic challenges, and she's had an outlet to discuss her fears, questions, and concerns about everything going on around her. The best part is that in 3 1/2 weeks I have never once heard either of the kids say they were bored- not a single time!

Tomorrow we start spring break, and just as I was getting nervous about how we would keep the kids busy and entertained for 10 days we got an email that the Head of School is going to do live story telling or children's services every day of spring break to continue giving the kids access and engagement!Jewish Academy of Orlando- to say we are impressed and grateful for everything you have done so far and continue to do is an understatement. Thank you, so much!
