COVID Procedure Changes Coming to Quincy Public Schools

COVID Procedure Changes Coming to Quincy Public Schools In the last weeks we ve seen COVID daily numbers decrease, and many of our community members are getting vaccinated. Now Quincy Public Schools look to change some of their procedures and process for students, teachers, and parents. Mr. Roy Webb, the Superintendent for QPS schools, posted yesterday that changes are coming to the way students and teachers enter schools. Since day one of school, students, bus drivers, bus riders, and teachers have to wear masks, and get temperatures taken to enter any Quincy School Building. Now, the Illinois Department of Health are releasing new guidelines for those attending school in-person, and QPS will follow them.

Is There Going to Be a 35th Annual St Patrick s Parade?

Years ago the decision was made to begin a St. Patrick s Parade in Quincy when I asked my co-worker Dennis Oliver if he would like to walk with me down Maine Street to form a two-man parade.  We hoped it would put us in the Guinness Book of World records for the smallest St. Patrick s Parade ever (2 people). Apparently there must have been a one-person parade somewhere as we never made it in the record book. What we did do, unknowingly to both of us, was begin a St. Patrick s Parade tradition that has carried on for 35 years. COVID-19 put a roadblock up just days before we were scheduled to hold last year s parade as we were told we could not assemble that many people in one place. To keep the tradition going, Dennis and I dressed up in our finest Irish outfits and walked down Maine Street complete with a police escort.
