When she's chaperoned dances at Catholic schools, Cynthia Storer's been told to make sure the kids "leave room for Jesus" — but at Bishop Machebeuf High School's prom last month, room apparently was not left for Jesus or social distancing. Because now Storer's son has the virus, and the school's on Colorado's COVID-19 outbreak list.
Four COVID cases have been confirmed at the private Catholic high school in Denver, which was added to the state's list of outbreak sites on May 5. Storer's son, junior Pete Wachholz, and one of his friends account for two of those cases, with both students testing positive for COVID-19 just days after attending the April 24 prom.
