In a year filled with new norms for connecting, local students are not letting the pandemic limit their ability to spread holiday cheer with people who need support the most â healthcare workers.
Dr. Mindy Miller, a family medicine doctor at Montrose Memorial Hospital, reached out to teachers to ask if students would write letters to hospital staff ahead of the holidays. Jamie Gann, a language arts educator, who is teaching eighth graders from Centennial, Columbine and Olathe remotely this school year, was eager to get involved.
âIn a year where encouragement often feels in too short supply, to offer love and support and gratitude to the people taking the most risk and working the hardest to keep us all safe during a global pandemic . yes. Sign me up,â Gann said.
