Third grader Alice Houser is excited to receive personal letters from her classroom teacher, Katherine Johnson, and her Reading enrichment teacher, Sherie Mayfield, while away from school due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many teachers at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School mailed a personal letter to each of their students to spread some cheer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing the importance of staying connected to their class, the teachers said they wanted their students to know how much they are thought of during this difficult time.
“I wanted to send my students letters to stay connected and to encourage them to keep trying their best during this tough time,” said third grade teacher Katherine Johnson. “Distance learning is tough on parents and the kids, and I wanted to brighten their day and let them know I am still here for them,” she said.
During the pandemic, OLS has not missed any days of classroom instruction. The staff and teachers have kept consistent communication with parents and students and have provided them with creative lessons, videos activities, interactive instruction, virtual annual events and weekly school Masses to help maintain its community environment while they are away.
