May is a busy time for high school students, particularly seniors. But now, the coronavirus pandemic has canceled sports, competitions and activities, not to mention prom and graduation. What event or activity were you particularly excited for this year? Why is it important to you? How are you feeling missing it?
Color War, (a program where students wear a specific color to show spirit. Students traditionally compete — the most spirited class wins). Hockinson always has the best Color War and we were going to be the only class to win Color War back to back. We had the color red since elementary school, when we were given that color. It’s part of who we are.
Many of you talked about the lack of closure this year brought. Tell us about why it’s important to you to have some sense of closure on your educational experience, and what, if anything, you’re doing to make peace with the fact that this period of your life is coming to an end.
It marks the end of an era. It’s something that many look back on and remember the end of their high school days. Our end came much sooner than we expected.
