Please continue to monitor your children for any symptoms of COVID, Hanks wrote. We also ask families to remind students to wash their hands frequently, sanitize often and keep their masks on properly. There are many events at the end of the school year that we are looking forward to holding and want to try our best to maintain our healthy environment.
Those events include an-person prom and traditional graduation ceremony for seniors, the Cumberland Life Festival for eighth-graders and modified G-A School District Special Olympics. It has truly been a community-wide effort this year and we are so grateful for the support of our families, Hanks said. We believe that our continued efforts and diligence will permit us to close out the year successfully. We can and should all be proud of our GA community!
On March 23, the automatic doors opened at a rehabilitation center in Wall and a miracle walked out. A living, breathing, talking miracle.
A crowd of 50 people burst into cheers as John Kwiecinski, with the help of a walker, emerged into the daylight.
“You did it!” someone yelled.
Three hundred and sixty-one days after first being hospitalized with COVID-19, the 52-year-old Kwiecinski finally headed back to his Manalapan home.
“It was watching answered prayers and miracles right before my eyes,” wife Roxanne Kwiecinski said. “That was what we prayed for for a year. We would pray at the same time every day and all envision him walking out the door.”
