[TNS-list] Dyanthe's Letter: 3.21.20

[Karen Oh]

Thank you Dyanthe and to the entire TNS teachers and staff for everything
and getting through this to keep us learning.

I know it has been a ton of work and a scramble.

We all know by now that our kids have been learning so much at TNS (thanks
homeschooling...).

But, the other thing, and perhaps more important, is that you have given
our children a school environment and culture that has been impossible to
replace. That is something our family misses so terribly. So thank you for
creating that vibe, atmosphere, sense of place and community.

Please, all, stay in touch with one another! See you online!
