Students honor workers for service during pandemic
Students of St. John’s Catholic School recently took to the streets to spread some joy and to thank the many area businesses for their effort and energy in continuing to provide service to the community during the pandemic.
The children created paper hearts, with inspiring messages of gratitude, which they then taped on storefronts and doors in the downtown area.
Their actions, that were part of Maine Catholic Schools Week, were inspired partly by Portland’s own St. Valentine’s Bandit, who annually and anonymously, tapes hearts up all over the city. The children would have preferred to deliver the sentiments themselves but were following COVID-19 protocols.
