SEPTEMBER updates
Celebrate fellow alumni
To those at "The front"
I'd like to acknowledge the amazing work being done by our teachers, school coaches, and principals. Over the past three weeks, we've all made significant shifts in where and how we work; the impact is not lost on us. It is here that we'd like to say THANK YOU for your persistence, dedication, and devotion. Moreover, healthcare professionals and anyone considered essential personnel are working at the edges of this crisis. They encounter daily risks to their own health and wellbeing so that we have a place to show. To those workers and professionals, we say THANK YOU for making sacrifices in the service of our communities, cities, and nation.
