Hope for a really hard year
All middle and high school students enrolled at MCPS transitioned to remote learning on Friday as their teachers, principals and staff received the vaccination. The medical center remained open Saturday as the school districts’ elementary school educators and staff received the vaccine.
“It think, both personally and professionally, we can breathe a little bit more,” said Mandy Perrish, an 8th grade teacher at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School, moments after receiving her first dose
“It is at least one more step to getting to normal,” Perrish said. “I’ll still wear a mask and practice social distancing, but it does feel like a burden has been lifted a little bit.”
