Hello neighbors,

It occurred to me that graduation is among the list of celebrations claimed by covid-19, be it kindergarten, high school, college, or whatever other place from which you may be moving on. As a professor, I have grown accustomed to watching my students take big steps into the wider world come April, but obviously this year will be different. 

I am wondering whether your children (or you yourself!) may also be mourning the loss of this important step. If so, please reach out. I would love to plan a physical distancing graduation for all of our neighborhood seniors that are interested in participating.

Take good care,
EM
