With school being cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s heartbreaking to all of us who can’t see our friends in person any more this school year. But the group that’s having it the toughest is the senior class.
How would you feel if, for any reason, your biggest opportunity to have fun and make memories before you leave high school forever is cut short? Well, that’s exactly how the seniors feel now.
“How I feel about my senior year ending and cut short is really upset because I was looking forward to making some more final memories with my friends,” Tommy Malecki said. “The activities I was really looking forward to are prom, Field Day, and our class trip to New York City.”
Chloe Wheeler said, “I’m in the middle about my senior year getting cut short. I want to say that I’m happy that I’m leaving Woodlynde, but at the same time, there are some things that I’m going to miss. I was very excited about the activities coming up for seniors. Our senior assembly/walk around the school, the senior breakfast, and certainly our junior/senior prom!”
Chloe added: “I somewhat don’t like it, but at the same time, it’s a better school experience for me [working from home]. The positive things that come out of this are that I can work in a comfortable setting, and I don’t have to worry about transportation anymore. It was literally brutal for me to go to and from school.”
Max Kugler said: “I feel very sad that my senior year was cut short because now I don’t get to pull a senior prank, which I was looking forward to. I’m handling this new reality of my senior year somewhat well. The only positives that have come out of it are that I have been able to complete all of my work for the rest of senior year on time.”
To help cheer them up, Mrs. Clemons, Mr. and Mrs. Shank, and Mrs. Wilson made a surprise visit to each senior’s home on May 20th to deliver a fun care package.
The school is hoping to hold a live graduation over the summer, if social distancing rules are relaxed enough by then.
