Brought to you by the Providence Senior High School’s Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) April 2020 Volume 32, Issue 3 Dear PHS Parents and Families: So much about our world and “normal” way of living have completely changed this month with the Covid-19 Pandemic. On Friday, March 13, which seems like months ago, we experienced our last day of school but at the Jme we did not know it would be our last day of school for a while. We’ve heard in the news and on social media that these are unprecedented *mes and unusual circumstances and all of that is true, although those words and phrases don’t seem to be strong enough to express the uncomfortable feeling we have about our lack of rouJne without regular school. Instead of being at odds with our situaJon, we can be inspired and enthusiasJc to take this Jme at home to reflect. Our students are someJmes asked to reflect on a Jme of adversity and what they did to overcome it or persevere through it. They now have a real situaJon they can reflect upon. How did they react? How did their life change? What was life like before March 13 and what is life like now? What did they do with their new found Jme to help someone else (even while quaranJned at home)? I have been encouraged by students who have looked for the posiJve, liTed up a peer or colleague or family member, and I’ve been especially encouraged to hear from teachers who say their students really miss them and really miss coming to school. Our students have a unique opportunity to reflect on what they thought was important before March 13 and what they know to be important now. Wouldn’t it be interesJng to read a collecJon of their reflecJons when our students are elderly or are teaching their grandchildren what it was like back in 2020? In the spirit of being reflecJve, I hope you enjoy this ediJon of the Paw Prints, which highlights many accolades earned and the acJviJes of our students during 3 rd quarter. We are so proud of our students, not only how hard they have worked during 3 rd quarter and how much they have achieved, but also how they have now transiJoned to online learning. We are also very proud of the work of our staff. In less than a week, we moved from tradiJonal school to remote and online learning, using technology such as live chats, Google Classroom, Google Hangout, Canvas, and Zoom meeJngs to reach our students and check in with them. We miss our students terribly and the daily interacJons we have with them and with our classes as a whole. We hope to resume regular school at Providence very soon! Sincerely, Dr. Harrill, Principal
