May 8 Update

 

Dear McCall Families,

 

I hope everyone is well.  Happy Mother’s Day to everyone.  For those of you who know me, you know my childhood is an atypical one.  My family traveled a lot due to my father’s work, and there have been times when all three members of my family were living in three different countries.  Although my mother is not always by me physically, I am always connected to her in many other ways.  I am also fortunate to have other adults like my aunt and uncle who served as maternal figures for me.

 

We live in a society that is increasingly diverse, so the words “family” and “mother” have different meanings for different folks.  Therefore, I would like to wish everyone who are mothers in the most conventional sense and everyone who serves as caregivers for our students a Happy Mother’s Day.  The pandemic has made mothering, parenting, and care-giving more complex and challenging than ever.  I hope everyone will take a moment today to congratulate yourselves for the hard work you have done to raise and care for a middle school student.

 

I wish you all the best!
