ELEVATE SPRING
THIS TIME OF ISOLATION has called us to reach out in creative ways to one other. Whether it’s FaceTime dances or dates, keeping in touch is what keeps us a community. RJ Media asked students to send in “porchraits” of themselves and their families to document this unparalleled time in history.
FOLLOWING A NATIONAL TREND WE ASKED FOR YOUR
COVID 19 PANDEMIC
PORCHRAITS
“
MY FAMILY’S QUARANTINE HAS BEEN VERY BORING BUT ALSO FUN! MY SISTERS ARE HOME AND I ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH THEM! WE HAVE TRIED OUT A LOT OF NEW RECIPES AND WATCHED MANY MOVIES AND TV SHOWS!”

MR. TRICCO
“MY FAMILY HAS LEARNED to embrace a range of emotions almost daily. The slower pace (we’re not running all over the place to countless activities) invites us into deeper presence with one another. We are learning to be more patient, to focus more on gratitude and allow God to unveil what comes next.”

“THIS PAST MONTH of quarantine has been the craziest weeks of my life. They have also been a struggle for my family. My brother and I are stuck at home alone all day because our parents are working. Our dad is a police officer and our mom is a nurse. They are both doing their part to help people.”
JENSON DAVIS ‘22
“THIS OUTBREAK has been challenging for my family and I to find ways to keep ourselves occupied. We have family dinner every night, we watch movies and play games together, and make sure to give each other privacy to make home feel like work and school. My thoughts on this outbreak remain negative, but it has given us an opportunity to try new things and to stay connected with friends and others facing the same problem.”
