Be Kind to Others

We should be kind to others always, but perhaps even more so during challenging times like these.

It’s normal to get the blues–even for our stuffed animal friends like Snip here.

While we each have to support our stuffed animal friends, the City Tech Counseling Center is still available remotely to provide support for you. Up-to-date details are available here.

While we humans shouldn’t be hoarding food and medical supplies during the pandemic, I suppose it’s okay for chipmunks to hoard some almonds!
