"This has been such a tough time for everyone, so give yourself room to feel the full range of your feelings (mad, sad, relief, confusion, grief). Know there is no “right” way of coping with current situation so do the best you can and trust that. Focus on what you HAVE vs. what you don’t and focus on the what you KNOW vs. what you don’t to help manage things when they feel overwhelming. You will help lead us into a new normal and we will all learn and adapt together.
We got this! Stay Positive.
Best of Luck in your adventures,"
— Mr. Griego
