Fifteen-year-old Aimee Wright was sitting in her last class on Thursday when she heard Coronado High School was switching back from in-person learning to remote instruction on Friday.
“We were just about to put on a play and did the opening and closing night yesterday, but we can’t perform tonight or tomorrow,” she said Friday at a protest in front of Colorado Springs School District 11’s administration building.
“At first I was angry, and now I’m just sad,” she said. “I don’t think any of this is for our safety. There doesn’t seem to be any reason.”
