[email message sent out to 8th grade magnet families 4/20/2020]
Good morning, Clemente MSCS 8 families,
I hope this message finds you healthy and positive amongst the many unanswered questions we all have.
In an alternate reality, in which there was no COVID-19 pandemic, we would have woken you students up at 7:00 a.m. this morning to enjoy a continental breakfast together in Boston, Massachusetts. Today would have been our first “real” day spent exploring the city together.
Since that is not possible in this new reality, I’ve taken the liberty of creating a “Virtual Boston” website for you to explore. It hits upon many of the sights and scenes we would have experienced together… and even some things we wouldn’t have had time for. I hope you will enjoy clicking through what’s been collected for you, and even go off the path into a rabbit hole or two of your own interest.
Once you’ve had a chance to explore, please send a brief email to your trip chaperones (listed below, and also CC’ed on this email) about something you learned or found interesting, as well as how you and your family are coping. No due date, just take your time and have fun with it. (Also, Mr. Young tells me that Apollo 13, which we would have watched together this week, is on Hulu if you have a subscription… and don’t forget bowling night!)
I hope you are all doing well, and I look forward to seeing everyone again soon on the other side of this. Take care of yourselves and each other, and be well,
-Mr. Orders (and your teachers & chaperones)
