My kids have been so blessed to have a mostly normal school year. Sure they have to wear masks and primarily stay with their class and follow new rules related to social distancing and snacks and drinking fountains, but they have been in school all year...all day...in person. Many schools can't claim that and I am so glad we can.
In addition to enjoying in-person learning, most of the extracurricular school activities have remained in place. Staley got to participate in Safety Patrol and be on the school news team. Both Staley and Adelie participated in a special before-school STEAM program. Although they were virtual, we got to see Staley do her living museum (Hello, J.K. Rowling with your British accent), her science fair (floating grape experiment), and her Drama Club performances (short skits based on stories by Robert Munsch). We enjoyed Adelie's virtual Monarch program and Potato Parade (Eliza Hamilton). And now, as the school year winds down, the kids are enjoying their final few end-of-the-school-year activities.
One such activity is the 3rd and 4th grade track meet. Staley was so sad to miss out on it last year, so she was extra excited to have the opportunity to participate this year.
