To Our Families at NHE...
In times like this, which I have never personally faced, we have many great opportunities. We have the opportunity to go back to the basics....spend quality family time together that we all need, learn to get along being together all day, cook, build, learn outside of the classroom, etc. I am personally excited to have this opportunity to have the technology to make this work. I desperately miss seeing the kids daily and getting my morning hugs. Just try to live in the moment and see this as an opportunity to be with your loved ones. I will post resources and videos for you and your children to view and think about. If you need anything, please feel free to email me. vwolf@nhcs.k12.in.us |

A little about me!
As many of you know, I have 4 amazing children. I want to share this with you since I am encountering many of the same struggles that you are within your family. Andrew is a sophomore at Ball State. Cameron is a senior at Floyd Central. Aralyn is in 1st grade at NHE, and Adelyn is in Kindergarten at NHE! I wrote above about this being a time of opportunity. I was suppose to go on a spring break trip with my children. We stayed home to play our role in preventing the spread of the Coronavirus. It takes everyone to make this happen. I did take the opportunity to spend my time with my family at home. These are such precious memories no matter where we are. I hope YOU take the opportunity to spend that same quality time with your precious families. Enjoy this time as much as you can-it΅is all about a positive mindset! |
