Notes on Ukrainian-Russian Conflict

Dear Parents,

Perhaps your child is aware of the dire situation in Ukraine. Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine, those who remain there, those who are fleeing or have fled, and those who have ties with family, relatives, and friends who are in harm’s way.

The bravery and solidarity of the Ukrainian people are an example for us all: mothers protecting their children, fathers and government officials defending their homeland willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for honor and country.

If your child is aware of the current situation in Ukraine and inquiring about it,  I am providing links with tips for healthy communication about the war in Ukraine.

With heartfelt concern and a wish of peace for all,
