  6. Good luck. Went through this recently with our dog. He ate a towel. A really, really, really expensive towel. Hope yours is Ok.
  7. Here’s the relevant portion of the email we received today: As for the snow days, we are blessed in Garnet Valley to have the hardware, software, and expertise to teach our students virtually. However, as parents and/or educators we also recognize that the first snow is a special occasion, especially when it falls during the holiday season. As a result, we are using one of the three snow days that are built into our calendar to provide our children a reprieve from the disruptions and restrictions that COVID has brought to their lives so that they can get away from the screens and enjoy some fun outside. I believe fun has been sorely missed by our kids, and we need to find a way to provide it–albeit with all of the appropriate health precautions. Additionally, with the amount of forecasted snow, we wanted to guard against power outages, network issues, etc. As with every decision that we make during the pandemic, I’m sure that there will be those who adamantly oppose my decision, as there will be an equal number who support it. Nevertheless, understand that we remain committed to getting our students back in school for in person learning as quickly and safely as possible. We also remain committed to their social and emotional health, so although a snow day during virtual learning may sound counterintuitive, how much more can we possibly impose on our kids? One day over the nine months of this pandemic, we believe, is a worthwhile accommodation. Finally, we need to acknowledge that our school community also needs consistency, and we believe that our plan meets these factors as well as possible given the known and unknown challenges that currently exist.
  8. They did the same for Thursday at my kids’ schools, and gave the same rationale. Of course, we are likely getting *maybe* 4 inches of snow and then crazy sleet/rain so it’s sort of crazy but I’m cool with it.

  11. just write a number...any number...i'll accept any number at all, it could be a 1, or a 2, or a 3, or how about a 4? It's that simple... then we can move on to the elite athlete question
