Overall, this area looks pretty good. He reported seeing a policeman at every drugstore, and there are far fewer people “out on the streets”, generally.

More soon…

I am a teacher at Alice Harte. Any news about when the school could reopen? I know it didn’t suffer much damage and am anxious to return to my neighborhood(Eton St.) and get back to class with my studentsl. If any of you see this, I’m thinking about you all the time and can’t wait to see your bright faces. Love to all, Mrs. Sanderws
