By Judy McKenzie Things are certainly looking different in our world from a short time ago.
Education is a big one. Our schools stepped up to the challenge quickly and did a great job of making education a priority. It was not perfect, but it kept our students in contact.
A task force has been put into place, encompassing representatives from all aspects of our community, and are charged with making a safe path into the new year.
It will certainly look different and will not be perfect. Things will not be comfortable for everyone but will be what it has to be for now.
The safety and well being
