Although all of Orange County Public Schools’ campuses remain closed to the public, that hasn’t stopped local many teachers from figuring out a way to see their students. Teachers and staff members of Keene’s Crossing Elementary School gathered on Thursday, March 26, for the school’s Cougar Staff Parade. Keene’s Crossing personnel paraded in their cars throughout the Summerport community to let their students know how much they’re missed during times where everyone is encouraged to stay home.
