Reflecting on Five Years Since COVID-19 Closures
March 13, 2020, marks a day we will never forget—the moment our school had to close its doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If COVID-19 and the past five years have taught us anything, it is the importance of our educators and the huge impact schools play in the everyday lives of our students and families. We navigated unprecedented challenges, found new ways to teach and learn, and emerged stronger as a school district and community. While that time was filled with uncertainty, we are reminded that education provides stability, connection, and support for our students.
The Power of Public Education
This month also serves as a great reminder of the importance of public education. Our school is more than just a building where learning happens; it truly is the heart of our community. Public education ensures every child has access to the tools, knowledge, and opportunities necessary to succeed in life. Partnerships are formed between educators and families to prepare our students for bright futures. I encourage everyone to continue advocating for and supporting public education—it truly is an investment in the future of our children and our community.
As always, I appreciate your continued support and dedication to Kimball School. Let’s make this March a great one.
