On Tuesday, January 18 in the Clark County School District "the school district said its nurses had contacted 1,409 employees during the pause and cleared 1,068 to return to work. They also contacted 4,057 parents and cleared 2,324 students to return" (Wootton-Greener, 2022). The following day on Wednesday, January 19, "more than 300,000 Clark County School District students and 40,000 employees returned to class after a five-day “pause,” but it was not clear how many didn’t attend, either because of COVID-19 or for some other reason" (Wootton-Greener, 2022). Oy vey! If you are struggling mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally with this pandemic we completely understand. Thick sits down with Slim to discuss her Holiday Blues and her feelings about ANOTHER year in this panorama.
Those that have lost loved ones and have had a difficult time during this pandemic, our hearts go out to you and we hope to provide care in the knowledge that we are here for those in our community here in Vegas and all over the world. Thank you for listening, but more importantly take care of yourselves and each other this year. You deserve it. Also so all the parents, staff, frontline workers, and other caregivers who are still struggling through it, we again want you to know that you're not alone. We see you and we want to hear you too.
