MERCED, Calif. -- In the North Valley, a 100-year-old letter is providing some hope for the future when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jill Cunningham is the Associate Vice President of External Relations at Merced College.
Her family recently came across a letter from when one of her relatives attended Le Grand High School.
It's dated January 30, 1920, and it describes the school board's decision to cancel classes due to the "influenza epidemic."
The letter explains that teachers will be providing "correspondence work," which is similar to what's now called remote learning.
It also mentions a version of "social distancing," with students only being allowed to visit their teacher one at a time.
