Today, in the United States, is Labor Day, a holiday created to honor the dedicated and hard-working people. The United States has had 6,000,000 people catch the Covid-19 virus. Speaking to friends in Spain, Israel and Brazil, we are not alone in losing educators. On August 26th, 2020, Education Week published the names and pictures of 402 educators who had lost their lives due to the virus.
As schools around the world reopen, educators, students, parents, family members and ancillary school workers like bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians are at increased risk.
Pray for those of our colleagues we have lost and those who are at-risk.
Stay safe. Stay well.
