“Attention teachers and staff,
the army is short a few —
illness, family commitment,
exhaustion have taken a toll.
Please consider
where you can help,
perhaps take a few students
into your raft
as we weather
this storm of a day.
Remember,
the 1,000+ students
will not be mindful
of your extra burden.
In fact,
the needs are greatest
when the resources
are strained.
Good luck today…
you will need it.

You’ve captured this rescue mission with the perfect metaphor. I agree with mschiubookawrites, spring break can’t come quick enough.

Paddle that raft right onto spring break and then beach it for the whole week!
