ELY – Memorial High School students here celebrated Winter Frolic last week, marking the first time in about a year that they were all together again in the same building.
A “winter homecoming” celebration was held last week as 6-12 students cautiously continue to re-occupy the building and return to some semblance of educational normalcy.
Students in the ISD 696 school district, like so many other districts around the state and country, have endured a litany of school shut-downs, distance learning protocols, cancellations of sporting events, plays, prom, and graduation, as the community has battled the COVID-19 pandemic.
The district also marked the seventh week in a row with no positive cases reported in the school community.
