This is all so weird. Here's some enrichment ideas on behalf of Mr, Fischer, Mr. Accomando, Ms. Huberty and myself. We miss our kids, and wish you all the best.
We received word today that enrichment materials were mailed out to you today, and you should receive them within a few days. In the meantime, here is a link to a bunch of MMSD suggested resources.
