This Tuesday, August 10, will start a new school year in south Lake County. The transition from a summer of late nights and sleep-ins to a more structured lifestyle can be stressful and filled with anticipation and nervousness. Add the threat of a COVID outbreak and the question to mask or not to mask, it’s no wonder parents, teachers and students are feeling high anxiety.
Every challenge is an opportunity to improve and move forward. The new learning environment, whether it be online or on-campus, is an exciting, new adventure.
