As kids all across the country are missing out on school days and are at home to maintain social distancing due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, it seems they are not the only ones who are missing school.
Heather Kestila shared a video on Friday which has gone viral and made many people tear up.
She captioned the video, “The teachers from Robertson elementary drove through our neighborhood today so they could see the kids,” she posted. “The wind might have gotten in my eyes.”
