It’s been a long couple of months for both students and teachers.  Trying to keep students engaged with learning has been a priority for the EMSB through their website and the constantly updated Educational Websites & Resources page.

LaurenHill Academy Grade 11 student, Jonah Kontolemos found a way, not only to remain engaged, but used this time away from school to make a huge contribution to frontline workers…doctors, nurses and healthcare workers…who have to live in life-saving masks while treating those inflicted with Covid-19. 

Using his Christmas present from his parents…a 3D printer…Jonah came up with an “Ear Saver” that removes the uncomfortable pressure from the mask’s ear elastics.

His math teacher Sarah Ditchfield and Jonah Kontolemos join me for the story.
