Hi Everyone, apologies I‘ve not communicated about Chestnut Street #MaeveBinchyBudfyRead. The school I am Principal at was still open this week. Then announcement came on Wednesday that would close on Friday, but reopen on Monday as Care facility for Critical Workers and for any very vulnerable children. This has all taken up EVERY minute since, today first time had 5 minutes to myself but about to head into school. Hence my absence on Litsy 👇

cobwebmoth Sending positive thoughts to you! That is a lot to be dealing with. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Do what you need to do and we can continue our group reads when things get back to normal. You be sure to stay safe and don't wear yourself down. (edited) 5y

White Stallion of LipizzaAndrew65 Thanks everyone, end of day 1 and now everything organised and in place so I can take a some downtime. Been the most stressful four days I have known. We sent a letter to children that had us all in tears but had a very positive reaction from parents. @cobwebmoth @EadieB @ljuliel @TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk @tracey38 @Lcsmcat @Slajaunie @Crazeedi @JacqMac @rubyslippersreads @CarolynM @TheAromaofBooks 5y
Andrew65 I think we should set up a support group on here during this time and all get together at the same time each day to support us through this. These groups we have set up for staff, families and children are having a really positive impact and helping morale. 5y
Andrew65 Will hopefully get to the book Wednesday or Thursday this week. 5y
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I miss my kids terribly and I‘m so worried if they‘re safe, so I get how you feel. Thinking of you. Posting how we feel would be good set a time and we can individually post and see how many there are of us feeling the exact same 🤷🏽♀️ 5y
TheAromaofBooks This is so hard!!! Also, I just realized that Litsy tagged a book for me in my earlier comment, and I have no idea why! 🙄 5y
Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks 😂 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 👍❤🥰 5y
