Curious…do they do contact tracing/ notification for the families? Would seem a daunting task. But looking at these figure, everyone involved- students, teachers, administration and parents should be applauded. The cases are quite low.

I applaud the kids themselves, who have adhered to masking requirements far better than their parents. Whenever I’m out walking, I see kids walking solo, fully masked even though they don’t really need to be and no one is watching. They’re just doing the right thing, all on their own. It is only when I see kids like these, as well as brave and honest activists like Greta Thunberg at work, that I actually have hope. It’s the rest of us – millennials through boomers, not lifting a finger for change – who need to be taken to task for trashing the world that will be left to these kids.

I agree. Yesterday when leaving the Chiropractor Summit school had just let out and everyone of those kids, young adults had their masks on and had them on properly a Big thumbs up to all of them!!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
