Addendum to Winter Update

 Firstly, this is going to parents and kids for the Woollcombe class.

A wise person told me that it would be a shame if kids didn't get my last update, so here it is.

Secondly, the attachment is a mental health resource. At the bottom is a list of the help lines. The one to have on your fridge is Get Support - Kids Help Phone, which has a chat app, phone number, and whole bunches of really awesome humans who love listening. 

This season is great, but it's not always easy. The well-deserved break gives us time to process some stuff, and sometimes that requires help. A coach, an extra auntie or uncle, or just someone who answers the text and cares. 

We learned a bit about Rick Hansen in class, and about how he had to be in great shape just to survive his trip. It wasn't a race, he just needed to get back home. We need to keep our emotional muscles strong, too, and we'll get there. Things are going to start getting a bit better every day.

Even Rick needed help.
