Setting the Tone for the Year

New year = new resolutions = new goals = new beginnings. These thoughts are on many of our minds each December as we head toward a new year.

Here we are, kids. When we made those New Year’s Resolutions and set goals for 2020, none of us thought that three months into the new year kids would be out of school FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, that toilet paper would be a hot commodity, and that we would all be sewing fabric masks for ourselves and others…
