Message from Jamey Schrey Thank you for your work as we come to the close of the first trimester. Be sure to snap a photo of your class or classes, because this will be quite the story twenty years from now! As I shared previously, I read a book called Burnout, which discusses the difference between stress and stressors. A section resonated with me this week as the district office and site office staff have returned to full capacity.
