The announcements came Wednesday via bus radios and classroom intercoms.
Clara Bepe, an economics teacher at Mishawaka High School, had to check in with a neighboring teacher when she saw the news.
âOh my goodness, is this real?â she asked, before running back to her classroom to set up a self-paced lesson for her students who were e-learning that day.
Bepe, like hundreds of other school staff members across Michiana this week, was finally being called up for her turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
âIt was one of those thrilling moments,â Bepe said. âWe were processing that as we were just driving: Are we really going to get it? Are they going to have enough?â
