Kristina Boving became a class teacher at MWS in 2006 and led the MWS Class of 2014 from Grade One through Grade Eight. She then took the Class of 2019 from fourth grade through their graduation last summer before taking over as class teacher for the seventh grade class that will graduate from MWS in June of 2021. In this post, Kristina reflects on the ending to a very different Spring semester.
