“It’s hard because life sucks so bad for so many people. That being said, I want to give a shout out to Ms. Barb Kelp and the staff in the Lifeskills class at Brown County High School. My daughter has been unable to attend school because of the mask mandate and the best has been made out of a difficult situation. Barb totally rocks, and I appreciate her so much!”

“The school system should get a lot of praise for doing what they do. All I see is ‘Why is school in session?’ on COVID posts! They do a wonderful job. I know all of that isn’t easy. I know teaching on different platforms, students in school, students remotely, etc., isn’t easy. The teachers that have to go home and do eLearning with their own children every evening after taking care of ours. The administration for tracking everything. The schools are also providing meals to all of the students. All of this is extra, and I’m sure not easy. It is truly appreciated!”
