Coach Lord, Coach Kenda and Mr. Evans share relaxation techniques for our busy Birney families

Nobody is perfect. When you lose your sense of humor do what we are teaching the kindergarteners...Pause, Breath, Finish Up!

Then...

Take a break. Throw a ball. Cool down. Share a hug. Talk it out. Love your pet. Take a nap.

Pandemic living is crisis living and learning.

So...

Put away your long to-do list. If you got one thing done today, that's good enough. If your child made it to their zoom, then you've done a great job. 

Good Enough is Good Enough.
