Thursday, the last day of school, I worked in a classroom that had almost entirely seniors (mine included) all day. We were all operating under the assumption that our schools were going to be ordered to close, we just didn't know exactly when. Because the students are seniors, it is their "last" of just about everything. They were all so mature and reasonable, and I was so impressed. They understood how serious it must be if these measures are being taken, and they knew decisions weren't being made lightly. I love this group of seniors more than I can say.
Thomas also received word that day that the musical for which he has been building set was being cancelled. Again, he understood, but was emotional about it. He said to me, "Mom, it's been a really tough couple of months." I couldn't disagree with him.
