Thank you for joining me in diversity and love this summer!  We are the World, and it is up to each of you to treat everyone with kindness, and to speak up for what is right.  One Love… One World!!!  Please help me decorate Miss Spiess-Ki’s music room (both virtually, and brick and mortar).  What is your message to everyone at our school… our world?? Make a sign, and write or draw your message!  Then, take a picture and send it to me, and also please give me your sign when we meet again at Bailey’s.
