Re: Nightly Field Dispatch

Psst… Maya and Leo! Over here!

Good morning, class! I’m your new classroom elf, and I’ll be taking notes on all the kindness in this room. I’ve already spotted plenty. Could someone show me the pencil sharpener? Mine is very small.

Today’s mission: have a wonderful day and tell me all about it.
