“THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT LEARNING IS NOBODY CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU.” —B.B. KING

SPRING 2020 WAS A LESSON IN FLEXIBILITY! Schools around the world were faced with the complicated task of changing from in-school to online learning partway through the year, and we saw amazingly innovative strides from educators everywhere.
