Dear Rosscarrock Families,
If you’re like me, your head has been swirling with emotion these past four days, and for good reason. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought our year to a screeching “PAUSE”-a pause with no clear end in sight. Special things, which we’ve been anticipating (Camp, Lacrosse, Bike Month, etc) have been canceled. When I walk around the empty classrooms and hallways, I am sad, but I am also filled with happiness. The experiences we’ve shared at Rosscarrock have molded us into an inseparable group. And I thank you for creating that for all of us. There’s nothing I, or anyone, can say to make up for that time you are losing in what is supposed to be one of the most playful years of your life. But I can offer some encouragement. Right now, you have the power to make the most out of this unfortunate situation. If over a decade of teaching has taught me anything, it’s that people your age are resilient and innovative. Your generation can navigate multiple worlds and bounce between physical and digital spaces with ease. You are part of the most racially and ethnically diverse generation, and you embrace those differences in ways adults seem to struggle. I can also offer some advice. Help one another and your family. They need you. Do your grandparents or your elderly neighbors need groceries? Offer support. Some teachers may even need your help as many try to transition to online learning. We need you. Go for a walk by the school and read all the messages teachers and staff have posted for you. We want to see your faces from the other side of the window reading them. Keep your head up and keep fighting. Our country needs you because you provide hope for our future. This year may not be what you envisioned, but I’m eager to see what you do with it. Love, Mrs. Fraser
