It’s that time of year again. Teachers and students can feel the tension in the air at school and parents can feel it at home.

You will be ok! The school year is almost over and look at all you have accomplished so far. It is incredible! Hang in there. Soon you will have another successful year under your belt. Summer is around the corner and you can get a break from the pressures of school.

If you know a student ask:

  • Can I help you in any way?
  • How are you doing?

If you know a teacher tell them:

  • Thank you for all you have done and are doing for students.

If you know a parent tell them:

  • Your son/ daughter is fortunate to have you’re support.
