STS Highlights: October 2020
We have officially moved into the Fall Season. Temperatures are getting cooler. Leaves are changing color. COVID-19 numbers are lessening in a lot of communities. In many cases, schools are reconvening and dealing with many unique issues directly related to the pandemic. I’ve curated resources that I think will help navigate the COVID-19 Pandemic. Use them as you see fit. As things begin to get back to normal, remain cautious and CONTINUE to gather information from reputable sources, maintain a reasonable distance, wash your hands often, and disinfect surfaces frequently.
Stay healthy,
Patrick
