Now that we have our school supplies at home, I would like everyone to write a short "Thank You" letter to one of the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic we are in.  While we are safe at home, there are many New Brunswickers and Canadians that are considered "essential workers."  That means that their job is so important, they can't take a break from it.  The rest of us depend on them.  This could be a nurse, grocery store worker, postal worker, correctional officer, first responder or many other jobs that we depend on.  You probably know someone. Maybe it is even someone in your family! Here is an example of what you could write:

Dear Nurse Hallihan,

     Thank you so much for all your hard work during this pandemic.  I am so proud of you for helping all of us.  I am trying to help out by staying home, washing my hands and following the rules of social distancing.  When you go to work, I get to stay safe at home.  Some things I have been doing to stay busy are:

* playing with my brothers/sisters/pets

*helping out at home by making my bed and washing the dishes

*getting lots of fresh air outside playing on my trampoline and bicycle.

     You are a hero and we will never forget how brave you were.

                                                                                                                    Thank you,

                                                                                                                    Jennifer Hallihan
