I don’t think the world would be where we are without your love and passion to help people,” reads a letter from a local middle school student. Hubbard Middle School officials said they’re not letting a worldwide pandemic stand in the way of giving back to others. Hubbard students have found a new way to spread this year, and are writing Christmas letters to health care workers. Hubbard sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students in the Advancement Via Individual Determination program were each tasked with handwriting at least two letters to local health care workers.
