An Aspira Olney HS student died of COVID-19. Teachers say the school needs better health safeguards.

“Individual classmates gravitated toward her because she had such a loving heart," Olney Charter teacher Latanya Dunaway-Clement said of Alayna Thach, 17, who died this week of COVID-19.

Teachers, students and staff at Olney Charter High School pause for a moment of silence for senior Alayna Thach, who died of COVID-19 this week, on Friday. Thach was remembered with speeches before a walk of light around the school and a moment of silence.
