These Moms and Their Children Share a Commitment to Charlottesville Students

This Mother’s Day, Charlottesville City Schools is putting a spotlight on the unique bond between staff mamas and their staff children. We met up with seven moms and their children who all work for our schools–from teachers to IAs to crossing guards to administrators–to capture their unique bond.
