Pandemic episode #50, Paul Lasher, 8/17/21

Our guest, Paul Lasher is a teacher, a truly essential worker during this pandemic and beyond! Paul has been teaching a combination of 5th and 6th grades for the past 21 years. Paul tells us, "As a way to bring some normalcy to myself and my students I decided to do some weekly trivia questions and challenges for my students. My hope was that through humor and a fun task each day,i t would help my students through this very trying time. I dressed up in various costumes to ask questions in character. I also reached out to various athlete, public officials and other celebrities to ask questions as well. If 80% of the students answered the questions correctly, I would do a challenge each Friday by way of YouTubeLive. He  added, "To my surprise, it not only helped many of the students, it also helped with my mental health as well".
