5 COVID-SAFE GIFTS FOR YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER

When parents first came up with the idea of sending their children to school with an apple as a teacher’s gift, they weren’t counting on a pandemic. In many places, schools are still operating online or using a mix of virtual and in-person learning, and even kids attending in person don’t want to get within 6 feet of their teacher to hand over fruit! So, what are your options for Teacher Appreciation Month? There are more than you might think.

THANKS TO THE HOLLAND & USRY LAW FIRM

I had a workers’ compensation case, and I didn’t know how to find an experienced attorney I could trust to work in my best interest. I started my Google search and found Rob Usry. What I was first impressed with was the website, which has a wealth of information regarding what to expect from a workers’ compensation case. For example, not feeling guilty about the whole process. You’ve been injured and you

should be compensated. In addition, I was always kept in the loop regarding where my case was in the process and always given the opportunity to express myself regarding whether I was happy with how my case was being handled. I really appreciate how professional the entire staff was from start to finish. Thanks, Rob, Rose, and Pam. –Sherry M.
