Adapting to changes caused by COVID-19 is just one more challenge Cape High’s business students are willing to take on, said new marketing teacher Kristen Jones, who advises Cape’s chapter of the Distributed Education Clubs of America.
“I am so happy to work here; it has exceeded my expectations,” Jones said. “This group of kids has made the transition easy. I’m very grateful to them. They have taken the initiative to make this successful and haven’t let remote learning be a barrier.”
