The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all of us in many ways. Most importantly, it has impacted how we relate and engage, but it has not diminished our resolve and commitment to providing quality education. Although there were challenges in 2020, we transitioned effortlessly to virtual learning platforms to assist our students navigate the curriculum.  Your resolve to adjust to the online revolution has been incredible and I thank you for that.
