“We are being very thoughtful and intentional about how we’re instilling moments of joy … answering the calls for mental health … and reminding everyone that we will get through this together,” states Rictor Craig, co-founder and Principal, Statesmen College Preparatory Academy for Boys PCS in  Washington, D.C. “The well-being of our community is the priority.

The COVID-19 pandemic is requiring them to redesign their roles and re-envision how to care for their school communities beyond a building and a central place of learning. “The well-being of our community is the priority.
