Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School’s four campuses have
been closed to the public since mid-March due to Covid-19, but students and
teachers have remained hard at work from home in their virtual classrooms.
While they have seen their students frequently through video screens, the
teachers at the Holy Spirit elementary campus arranged for a special “Corona
Carpool” reception line so they could see their students. Teachers and
administrators lined the sidewalk where students would normally be dropped off
for school and held signs to express how much they missed seeing their students.
The turnout was incredible, and the line of family cars
wrapped around the campus. Some even took multiple laps down the reception line
to make sure they got to talk to every teacher. While the teachers had intended
to be the ones to create signs to greet their students, many students made
their own signs to express how much they missed seeing their favorite teachers.
And while it was fun for them to see their teachers, the students were equally
excited to see their classmates. Many cars gathered in the parking lot after
the parade so that both students and parents could chat with one another from a
safe distance.
