Back to School
Worldwide Pandemic, statewide shutdowns, protests, aliens, murder hornets… The youth of today will have some hard to believe stories to tell their grandchildren about the year 2020. As our story continues to unfold through uncharted territory, guardians are facing the complicated choices of sending their children to school or keeping them home for E-Learning.
