乔治亚州的一名教师说，他有近两个月没见到学生了，非常想念他们。现在，他正在跑50多英里到学生的家外看望他们。
Bill McAllister, a faculty member at Big Shanty Intermediate School in Kennesaw, last taught class on March 16 before the coronavirus outbreak brought an early end to in-person learning in his district this academic year. He since has mapped out a route and is running six to eight miles per day to offer encouragement to each of his students.
比尔·麦卡利斯特(Bill McAllister)是肯尼索大棚中学(Big Shanty Intermediate School)的一名教师，他最后一次上课是在3月16日，当时冠状病毒爆发导致本学年他所在的学区提前结束了面对面学习。从那以后，他制定了路线，每天跑6到8英里，以鼓励他的每一个学生。
“I knew my kids were at home and they were missing school and everybody else and I thought well why don’t I run through their neighborhoods and see them, give them a smile, pick up their day a little bit,” McAllister told Fox 5 Atlanta.
“我知道我的孩子们都在家里，他们错过了学校和其他所有人，所以我想为什么我不跑到他们的社区去看看他们，给他们一个微笑，让他们振作起来呢，”麦卡利斯特接受采访时表示。
McAllister says he is donating money for each mile he runs to MUST Ministries, a local volunteer group that helps those in need with meals, clothing, housing and other items.
麦卡利斯特说，他每跑一英里，就会向当地志愿组织MUST Ministries捐款。该组织帮助那些需要帮助的人提供食物、衣服、住房和其他物品。
“I have been thinking about all of you and worrying about all of you. And getting to see you makes me a little bit calmer and a whole lot more happy,” McAllister was observed telling one of his students – Mia Strickland — during a run. “You have a great summer and we will see you in fifth grade.”
“我一直在想你们，担心你们所有人。”有人注意到麦卡利斯特在跑步时对他的一个学生米娅·斯特里克兰说:“我很高兴能见到你。能见到你让我平静了一点，也开心了很多。”“你暑假过得很愉快，我们五年级见。”
Strickland later told Fox 5 Atlanta her teacher’s visit was “pretty awesome,” as “just the other day I was thinking about him.”
斯特里克兰后来接受记者采访时说，她的老师来访“非常棒”，因为“就在几天前，我还在想他。”
For those who are not home, McAllister leaves notes on their mailboxes.
对于那些不在家的人，麦卡利斯特会在他们的邮箱上留下便条。
“Sorry I missed you, hope you are doing well,” one of the notes read.
其中一张纸条上写着：“对不起，我想你了，希望你一切都好。”。
