Students and Families Across New Orleans Joined 天博体育-PS and Cox Communications in 鈥淢aking Some Noise鈥� to Thank Teachers Amid Pandemic.
NEW ORLEANS 鈥� (May 5, 2020)鈥�- To honor teachers for their dedication amid the COVID-19 pandemic, New Orleans Public Schools (天博体育-PS) launched the #天博体育MorningBell Campaign in partnership with Cox Communications. This morning at 9 a.m., students, families and community members joined 天博体育-PS to ring the 鈥楳orning Bell鈥� and make some noise to celebrate educators.
The #天博体育MorningBell鈥� campaign was inspired by those in New York City cheering for the doctors and frontline workers every evening during this unprecedented time; today at 9 a.m., in place of the morning school bell, community members around the city were encouraged to celebrate teachers by ringing a bell, banging a pot or cheering loudly. In addition to students and families thanking their educators, Mayor LaToya Cantrell joined the campaign, recording a video on social mediathanking 天博体育-PS teachers for their dedication during this trying time.
鈥淓very day teachers are heroes, but now more than ever, the efforts of educators to ensure classrooms remain open and students receive the education and care they need to grow and succeed is something we absolutely must celebrate,鈥� said 天博体育-PS Superintendent Dr. Henderson Lewis, Jr. 鈥淒espite being physically distant, the 天博体育-PS community came together to make some noise and celebrate those teachers who show up for our students each and every day. I am incredibly grateful for the dedication and commitment of our educators to ensure each student continues to grow during these challenging times.鈥�
The campaign featured a 30 second PSA produced by COX in partnership with 天博体育-PS featuring students and thanking teachers for their commitment during this time.
