Dear Readers,
We are halfway through the second term, and three-quarters of the way through this strange school year. We wanted to acknowledge some of our collective losses: missed time with friends and family, missed opportunities, and most importantly, the passing of our beloved friend and colleague Meruba Sivaselvachandran.
It is a somber month.
We have created a tribute to Meruba Sivaselvachandran in this issue. Below is a list of resources you can access to help you navigate this challenging time:
