ROUND 3
She gives 110 percent in everything she does. She is a wonderful young lady both in and out of the classroom. She loves school. She is an amazing friend to her peers. She is responsible and extremely respectful. Distance learning has been difficult for her, because she loves going to school. She is missing her teachers, classmates, and the school in general. I am her teacher and she emails me often just to see how my day was. She is very thoughtful.

They can’t be close to these ladies, but they can help from a distance.
