What a strange last day! The kids never did go back to school. This has been devastating for me as a mom to have to witness my kids missing out on being in school learning, making friends, socializing and growing. I am so fearful they will not be going back next year! COVID is still considered a threat, and the news and media outlets talk of more variants and deaths isn’t helping to calm people’s fear. I believe the kids are at the least amount of risk to this virus but convincing those in charge of their education is proving to be quite the battle. So here we are collecting Zach’s yearbook through a drive through pick up line, and receiving class awards and saying good-bye over zoom through a computer screen. I secretly cry for my kids. This has been so isolating for them. All their activities have been cancelled and we have been stuck in our homes because anything remotely entertaining has been shut down. At least Mrs. Swardstrom’s class at Bonny Slope, got a surprise visit from Spider-Man, aka Ryan’s little brother Preston! Preston has been in and out of Ryan’s class zoom the last couple of months and left his mark on their last day of school.
