St. Charles College students are sending messages of positivity to the residents of Amberwood Suites in Sudbury who are locked down due to a COVID-19 outbreak
When news this week worsened for the staff and residents at Amberwood Suites, Mrs. Sauve, who teaches Grade 7 at St. Charles College, acted swiftly.
She tasked her students with raising the spirits of residents who continue to be quarantined in their rooms at the retirement residence due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
To date, four residents have died in the last two weeks of the deadly virus.
The students created pen pal letters for the residents and uplifting and inspirational messages, quotes and pictures.
“Right now our community and these residents need light and love and it comes authentically and genuinely from the students,” said Sauve.
The letters will be delivered this week.
Principal Aaron Barry said he is proud of the students and their empathy and kindness. “It’s these small gestures that make our students grow up into wonderful people,” he said,
