Give your story a title.

School Closings

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a message sent out by the superintendent of my school district to inform us that schools would be closed for longer.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Most people thought that we were getting an extra two weeks off of school and that this covid "thing" would blow over. Everyone thought this was short term and nobody expected to not be in schools for a year and a half and have their lives rearranged.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

#2moreweeks, #noschool, #whatssocialdistancing

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)

Kenton School District
