Here’s a little ! #cndpoli #abed #ableg

COVID is awful. Truly awful.

But, like always, this awful situation can bring little gifts. It can make you try something you might never have dreamed of trying. It can bring kindness.

This is the story of my little COVID gift.

It all started with @RosieBarton and a cute little tweet.

Such a cute tweet, in fact, that I just couldn’t resist saying how cute it was.

See those three whole likes my cute retweet got? One of them was from the awesome @telfordk. That got me thinking...

And that lead to a reply I never, ever expected to get.

And that lead to 32 grade 6 kids and their very excited teacher having pretty much the coolest school day ever.

I’ve been trying so hard to make online learning fun and engaging. These kids deserve that. They’ve lost so much, given up so much, and tried so hard to do their best through it all.

Thank you Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau for giving us the gift of your time.

And thank you @telfordk for replying when you didn’t have to reply, following up when you didn’t have to follow up, and giving us a day to remember.
