COVID-19 restriction gives St. Mary students a banner idea

DIXON — St. Mary Elementary and Jr. High School in Dixon will be conducting its annual Walk, Pray, Love event starting at 9 a.m. on Thursday — though because of COVID-19 things will be a bit different.

Each class at St. Mary’s, from preschool to Grade 8, has decorated a banner with words of encouragement. These banners will be displayed on sidewalks outside the school.

In past years students have walked through town distributing bracelets with words of love and encouragement, says Ashley Stuart, president of the Home and School organization at St. Mary’s.
