Summary

Another year in the books and so much has happened and changed. As we come to the end of the 2020-2021 school year we want to have an honest reflection of the year with all of you. This includes the challenges we faced because of the pandemic, our initial feelings as we headed into the school year and some of the highlights that kept us going strong. While we all had different situations for what our school year looked and sounded like, we hope that you can relate and also reflect on this past year. If anything, this year has hopefully taught us all that we can do hard things and that we are capable of making the best of difficult situations. Stay tuned to the end because we share our biggest takeaway from our 2020-2021 school year. SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW Are you subscribed to our podcast?

0:12.6	Today's episode is going to be an honest reflection of the 2020-2020 school year, which we believe will be a school year that goes down in infamy. This year was
0:23.3	unlike any school year educators have ever experienced. So we're going to break down how our year went,
0:30.1	share our challenges, our highlights, and our biggest takeaways as the school year comes to a close.
0:35.6	But first, let's hear a time-sucking hurdle from Natalie.
0:39.6	Fun fact, Bridget.
