The group prepared maps so they could visit all 120 of the students in their classes.

Roxana schools have been in remote learning because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“COVID-19 it has been hard on the kids and hard us and we want to keep them engaged,” Witt said. “When they don’t see us in person it is very difficult. We are fortunate we had them at the beginning of the year and got to connect with them then.”

Riverbender.com will follow the teachers in a weekend article about their journey and how the adventure was with the students with photos and comments.
