With children in mississippi out of school until april... area teachers have taken it upon themselves to keep in touch with their students... from a distance.

Friday, dozens of teachers and administrators from the aberdeen school district stopped traffic as they parade through the city streets for the second time this week... there message was a simple one... "we miss you."

Organizers say they wanted a creative way to stay in touch with their students while school is not in session.

Many teachers hung banners from their car doors with encouraging messages like "keep reading" and "see you soon."

"well of course we're out of school, and i was on facebook and i saw another group of teachers doing this throughout their neighborhoods and their school and i immediately contacted ms. jones because if anything happens, ms. jones is also going to do it too, so i though the two of us getting this together, we would have a pretty good group... i hope that they're able to see that we're still here, that we haven't forgotten them, and that we can't wait to see them back in april, hopefully."
