Dear Spackenkill Community,

A new scientific study by university researchers finds that communities who stay bonded and support one another are more likely to survive and thrive during COVID times. This finding applies to our approach here at Spackenkill. As I’ve said before, the only way to get through uncertainty is to stay together. This has served us well as we navigate the demands of the pandemic. This same approach relates to other challenges that exist in society, such as the tragic course of recent events in the Midwest. Staying empathetic and understanding multiple points of view, showing kindness to others, finding strength in unity, and rejecting violence are all key to navigating these difficult times.
