Welcome to ANI in the Air, Under the Sky and Around Baltimore, your daily podcast briefing
0:06
of all the goings ons, ins and arounds, arts and ideas, Sudbury School.
0:10
So today is Farewell Friday, it's aptly named because we will be transitioning to online
0:19
starting on Monday.
0:21
That is a definite at this point.
0:23
We had our assembly meeting last night, there was no motion to change our policy and so,
0:28
the numbers are still above where they need to be to stay in person.
0:34
So we will be online probably at least for two weeks, can only hope that the numbers
0:40
go down by then, but otherwise it may be a while.
0:45
Today we had our last JC of being in person, don't expect to have JC online, didn't, I
0:54
don't know, just seems to be in person when people cause trouble, but yeah, today's cases
1:01
went nice, it was nice to get, we almost went through the full JC team rotation, didn't
1:10
get around to the new students so much, but everybody else who is in person should have
1:15
basically served, so that was good.
1:19
We had an emergency school meeting today to discuss the transition to online, some beautiful
1:25
words were said, but basically be on Discord, be on Discord, be on Discord.
1:30
Of course if you're listening to this podcast I'm quite certain you are in fact on Discord,
1:34
but if you know of people who are in the school and are not on Discord, try to get them on
1:39
there, that'd be great.
1:42
We packed away the furniture today, you know, the outdoor furniture, and yeah, just kind
1:53
of closing up, yesterday towards the end of the day it was quite a whirlwind of activity
1:59
by the young ones, there's this whole notion that whenever we go on a break the kids pack
2:08
up all their energy that they would use for that time and kind of let it all out then,
2:20
so we'll see if it happens again today, hopefully it'll be calmer, but I guess we'll see, but
2:27
certainly yesterday it was like screaming and running and yelling and I'm gonna miss
2:31
that even as I was going ahh, but it's lovely to hear these things.
2:39
Yeah, so yeah, lots of people were outside at various points today, good conversations,
2:49
some good running, some good gaga ball playing, some good mud making, cleaned up the yard
2:58
a bit, it's all good, so it was all good, so I don't really know to what extent I'll
3:08
keep up with the podcast or not while we're online, I hope I will be having stuff to say,
3:14
it was a little easier in person because stuff happens right in front of my eyes, but we'll
3:22
see. Alright, well, it was a good week, good two months here, I really appreciate having
3:31
been able to be in person, it's really valuable to be able to be a part of this community,
3:39
I'm hoping that all of us can be in person pretty soon, but I'm just grateful for the
3:46
ones who were able to do so right now and looking forward to the day when all of this
3:53
is over, that'll be a good day, but until then, I hope we all can stay connected, keep
4:01
our community going, that's really what it is, just keep talking, I'm hoping to do some
4:09
belly laughing in the Contemplation Voice channel, doing some roleplaying online with
4:16
students, doing podcasts, and if there's anything else that I can do or any of the other staff
4:24
can do, please let us know, we want this online experience to be good for everybody, we really
4:33
care about keeping everybody connected, and Discord is the way to go. Alright, y'all have
4:40
a good one and talk to you later, bye.
