My Class of 2020 send off.

Written Sunday May 17th at 12:00 PM

The Class of 2020. I think about what could had been with this class especially in the spring.

With things taken away from them like spring break, prom, graduation, band concerts, theater, plays, and spring sports because of the coronavirus epidemic. It has certainly been a challenge for this class.

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, I can think about the celebrations of enjoyment that each senior class went through in the past but with the Class of 2020, it will be different.

This is no fault of their own.

Since Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer imposed stay at home orders and closed the schools in March. Whitmer effetely shut down schools the rest of the school year which also meant that this class couldn’t get the proper send off.

Schools have found ways to honor the seniors but in different ways.

As this class heads into a future of unknown they have a chance to bring their own special brightness for future generations.

It will be a challenging road to say the least but the Class of 2020 have been through a lot and to see their high school careers end like this in wake of this epidemic is absolutely wrong and unfair.

There will be someone who takes blame for this epidemic. There will be a cure and an end to this crisis.

There will be hope.

But at the end of the day, this class deserved better.
