We’re calling it a spirit-lifting day at Bishop Maginn High School tomorrow, Tuesday.

It’s been a rough time for the school. They are closing for good in a couple of weeks and the students were frightened and upset by the killings in Texas.

Sue Silverstein has been conspiring with me all week for a spirit-lifting day at the school tomorrow. I’m bringing Zinnia for therapy dog work, she will help to lift up the spirits and boost morale.

Sue has been gathering material all week to help boost morale tomorrow. There were bomb threats at schools all over Albany, “it was a rough week by any standards,” she said.

There is no shortage of sick people in the world. These kids have suffered enough in their lives, it’s sad to see them go through this here.

The school held a candlelight vigil for the students slain in Texas and the teachers have been wearing costumes to get the students to laugh.

Sue is ready for a massive tie-dyeing and corsage-making program at the school. Zinnia and I will be there in the morning.

The goal is to bring some smiles and a feeling of safety back to the school. I wish there was more we could do, but I honestly can’t think what it might be.

Sue is a master at this, she will help them.
