The Pandemic of 2019
The Class of 2020's Virtual Graduation
The Pandemic of 2019 known as COVID-19 has changed our normal daily lives. Cases started in the United States in late December. By March of 2020, Governor Mike DeWine ordered schools and businesses closed. Only essential workers were working. This meant all school activities were cancelled. The school play, spring sports, Prom, District Showcase, and graduation were either cancelled or greatly modified. Education went from face-to-face to remote learning. But keeping the students morale up was not easy.
The school website became a way to showcase the students and hopefully give them something to look forward to. The first virtual art show was created. The art teacher, Mrs. Ronshak had been collecting student works since January for the District Showcase. Normally the District Showcase was held in March but had been moved to May this year. Instead of matting the works, the pieces were photographed and displayed on the front page.
