Dear Humans,

Congratulations on finishing the strangest school year ever! But I hope you’re prepared for a weird summer too. And who knows what it will look like when we go back to school.

People say these are unprecedented times. But people have always faced strange new realities. And throughout all of those times a few skills have always mattered–how to clearly communicate with other humans and how to solve problems.

So I hope you read a bunch of books this summer. I hope you write something or create art. I hope you solve problems in the kitchen, garage, or backyard. Because if you do that, you’ll be prepared for anything.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
