Hello Everyone! I'm sure all of you have been as busy as I have with the many different strategies with starting school again this semester, which brings me to recent news. Schools and universities around the country have been struggling to come up with a plan that will work best for their students going back to school in the age of Covid-19. In March when we moved to online- starting the next semester this way seemed unthinkable. Please while you are undoubtedly having to get out more ofter, wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands as much as possible- we can get through this together.

Moving on to more political matters, Joe Biden has made national headlines by choosing California Senator Kamala Harris, former democratic presidential hopeful and first African- American and Indian- American woman chosen as the Vice- Presidential Nominee. The national outcry against police brutality is continuing following the recent shooting of Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor's shooters still walking free. During protests against the police in Kenosha, Wisconsin a 19 year old Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed several Black Lives Matter protesters and has been detained by police.

In other political news, both Republican and Democratic conventions have taken place within the past few weeks mostly online, or with limited in person attendance. The final stage has been set for the nominees going head to head in November.

Mail in voting is expected to be at an all time high this year, so please check your state and county resources and request a mail in ballot early so you can be sure to vote in the general election safely and so your ballot can be sent and cast in time to be counted.

Stay safe everyone!
