Last week we had a conference with Natasha De La Rosa, who is a licensed Social worker. Right now she is working in a nursing home during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the conference she had told us how her work had drastically changed since the outbreak of this pandemic. Her purpose is to inform other about the importance of social distancing. I sympathized with her because her whole family, including her, the virus. She empathized on the importance of staying at home, and highlighted the effectiveness of this anti-conroe measure. None of us can stop this pandemic with the snap of our fingers. It starts with all of us kids, not going out even though we would all like to. This virus is not a joke, and we all want everything back to normal.

I think that is such an amazing thing to hope for, and I hope one of his kids do end up taking ove...

Phill Cuzzi MLB umpire came in to talk to us about his life as an umpire, and what he has done. As a softball player, who’s dad loves baseball, and brother plays and loves it, it was such a great/interesting conference. How many people can say that an MLB umpire came in to talk to us. Not many. We asking him about some of his worst/best experiences, and how he knew he wanted to become an umpire. Recently, as he was umpiring a game for the New York Yankees, he threw out Bret Gardner. It was amazing to get a deeper understand at what actually happens at a higher level of sports.

Last homecomings. Last chance to play sports for some of us. Last chance to show people who you are. The year where you go all out. The seniors  plan  their  senior skip day  for every  month . On March 13, 2020 Mr. Abate announced on the loudspeaker that we will be starting online schooling for two weeks. When I first heard this I was filled with excitement. Two weeks was great!

I know for myself I can say this pande...
