What a Happy Time of Year!

 It was certainly a momentous week for the students of TDS and for this writer as well.

It all began with a dream and a hope that we could, at some point return to the life that we once knew in years past. All of us, administrators and medical board members wanted the same thing; we just did not know how to go about getting it done. It seemed like we were locked in and our best chance was a hopeful reset for next year. Still, we never stopped trying and we never gave up. And then suddenly our petitions, requests, and arguments were answered. Medical permission had been finally granted to de-mask ourselves and the clouds of covid were lifted from the children of TDS.

Everywhere you look one can see smiling children. Everyone is enthused with excitement to be in school. Free at last! When we ask the children “hey where's your mask?", they chuckle with delight and remind us that we don't need masks anymore. It is wonderful to see and even better to be a part of.

If there was ever an end-of-year pick me up, going maskless definitely did the trick and then some. A marvelous way to enter Shabbos and the holiday of Shavuos.

May we all continue to remain in good health and happiness.
 

Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!
