'Little Maroons' is how Lincoln and Douglas Elementary Principal Beth Wickenhauser addresses her tiny students and indicates those tiny Little Maroons have done a great job adjusting to the 2020-21 pandemic altered school year.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Wickenhauser told Regional Radio News there was an adjustment period to the school year but since that time, the year has gone very well.

While some classrooms were shut down from time-to-time through the course of the first six months of school, Wickenhauser indicates they kept students in the same classroom throughout the day which proved advantageous in limiting interactions between students and limited the number of students and teachers that quarantined at a given time.

Wickenhauser gives props to her teachers for their work in getting the kids accustomed to the new protocols and procedures. She indicates it took them a while to get the kids used to the new way of being at school but credits them with being patient.

Wickenhauser indicates when remote learners returned to the school setting in January, there was another adjustment period for those kids to get used to the school day on top of getting them caught up academically.

Next week on Regional Radio News, we'll hear more from Wickenhauser on summer school plans for her 'Little Maroons.'
