Valley View: Classrooms Respond to Crisis (Episode 10)




The Morning Call Podcast show

Summary: In the two months since Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico, tens of thousands have come to the U.S. seeking refuge -- many, with children, whose schools in the U.S. territory remain closed. Schools in the Lehigh Valley have taken in hundreds of children fleeing the damage -- more than 230 have enrolled in the Allentown School district and nearly 100 in the Bethlehem school district. (Numbers presented in this podcast are up to date as of Friday, Dec. 1.) Host Kayla Dwyer speaks with local teachers and The Morning Call's education reporter about the impact this has had on Lehigh Valley classrooms. Music is by Martin Gratton, Gavin Skinner and George Beck. Valley View is a production of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
