Our global pandemic has created barriers for people to connect socially. Today we are going to highlight a few ways we found to connect to others in a safe manner since having social connections is a way that people of all ages stay healthy.
- Have a family dance party to kick off the weekend! If you are lucky enough to have a kindergartner now at Blossom Hill Elementary you may be inspired daily with this Jack Hartman song.

Another song that may be inspiring some of our Blossom Hill Families is this song, by Queen, for the students in the Upper Grade Chorus (Thank you Mrs. Milos!): You're My Best Friend
