Just when our world was turned upside down, it was reassuring to know that we had at least one constant we can count on – SCHOOL’S STILL ON!

Killian Hill has always been ready for digital learning days. When the news came that school would have to be digital learning for the rest of the school year, it did not create any concerns for me. I knew that the teachers and staff were well prepared for this. No pandemic is going to deter the teachers from continuing their lessons! Although my child missed being at school with her friends and the face-to-face interactions, Google Classroom has been a great tool for facilitating online classrooms. It has enabled the students and the teachers to continue to interact. Homework, quizzes, tests, and AP exams, which are the constants in my household, have given us some sense of normalcy during these unprecedented times.

I applaud the dedication that the KHCS teachers and staff have shown to the students throughout these past weeks. They have been wonderful examples for the students. While our lives may no longer be the same in the future, God has gifted us with skills to allow us to adapt to the new normal. I do believe that this pandemic has made us stronger in our faith, encourage us to be more deliberate in our interactions with each other, and to appreciate all that God has blessed us with.
