In the month of April, many schools worldwide were closed due to the global pandemic, COVID-19. Many volunteering events had to be postponed or even canceled and had members staying home for their own safety. However, certain people have gone above and beyond during these difficult times to express their support to their community. Karen Bergan, the sister of Morse High’s own AP Art History teacher, worked around all these challenges and organized a local art drive. This drive focused on allowing students and other community members to show and express their full support to the first-responders who are currently putting their lives at risk.

Some of our very own Key Club members, such as Alan Cruz, Leilani Seang, and Arriana Bascos, took this opportunity and created artworks for nurses and doctors. When asked about how it must have felt to show support towards first responders, Alan replied, “I am incredibly grateful to be able to be part of this project. All of us are home during this quarantine and now more than ever we need to give back to our community. By being part of this project, I was not only able to express my support for these heroes, but also take some time to explore my creative side. I believe it is crucial to take a step back and invest some time in ourselves to focus on our health.”

Adding on, Leilani answered, “Since we’re in quarantine, I feel as though I’ve lost a bit of connection with humanity, so I’m very grateful that I was given the opportunity to give back and support first responders. It gives me a sense of relief that I’m still contributing to the community because social distancing severed my ties with humanity and my abilities to give back.”

Lastly, our very own Key Club president - Arriana Bascos - stated “It felt so good making these thank you posters. Knowing that this little thank you card can make those nurses and doctors smile during these harsh times is such a great feeling and I’m glad I took part in that.”
