Hello Maplewood Scholars, Families and Friends!

During this time of social distancing, I want to send out positive thoughts to all of you. The only thing better than being a teacher who continues to teach through this time of temporary events is being part of a community that shares this love for students and education! I've told my students at the beginning of each year that, although we may not know each other that well yet, we will become a family. It turns out, I was right again this year. I miss my family of students. The same goes for the staff at Maplewood. There was a time we did not all know each other and now we are a family. I miss them too. Luckily for us, we live in a world of technology that brings a sense of comfort. Let's use this technology for good and for our health! While we're doing what's right by staying home, let's also do right by feeding our minds and bodies to human communication that makes us laugh, think, and remember what we have to look forward to when we see each other again!

With Love,

Mrs. Kramer
