ALWAYS BETTER – ALWAYS BETTER READ
…this week in Camrose and surrounding rural districts. Experts have determined that the advantages of in-class learning and the benefits of better mental health for children through teenagers outweighs the risk of COVID-19 transfer. In most cases, teachers and students alike and others involved, directly or indirectly (bus drivers, maintenance persons, janitors, administrative staff), are pleased with the decision and thrilled to resume the traditional schooling model, despite its current extraordinary oddities and precautions. The simple observation, as kids jumped off school buses or out of minivans at schools this week, seemed to endorse that students of all ages were being mindful of current pandemic safety precautions, but more than ready to renew face-to-face acquaintances with friends and teachers, too.

Kingston, the Mascot for Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School, welcomed students back to in-class learning yesterday.
