That's a Wrap!

What a roller coaster of a year! Faced with many unknowns and constant change, what held us together was a strong sense of community, unwavering resilience, and ample doses of flexibility. While this year was never what we would have chosen, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that there’s not a better group of students with whom I’d want to weather this COVID storm. I’m immensely proud of their positive attitudes, their enthusiasm for learning, and their care for one another. I watched this group of students show up on Zoom day in and day out with smiles on their faces. Their positive energy made distance learning fun. Mid year we welcomed three new/returning Otters into the community with open arms. When most of us returned to in-person learning in March, the Otters continued to hold space and include their classmates with modified or distance learning schedules. We learned much this year and came out stronger, better people through it all. Cheers to our Otter community and these amazing students who will go on to change the world for the better. May your summers be filled with much relaxation, adventure, and connection with loved ones.
