With the end of school quickly approaching and plans for summer vacations being made, it is important for people to remain wary about the risks of COVID-19, as the pandemic isn’t over yet.
While vaccines are being administered, places are beginning to reopen and events are starting to be scheduled in-person, it remains a necessity that people continue wearing masks and social distancing to prevent COVID-19 from spreading or mutating before it gets out of control and COVID shots become yearly just like the flu shot that people are advised to get annually.
In order to ensure a safe, in-person return to school next year, we must hold each other accountable regardless if we have received the vaccine or not. This is not only the student’s responsibility but also the teachers and staff members since they are the role models and reflection of the campus on Pioneer.
In addition to the loss of friends and family over the past year, the pandemic resulted in shortened or non-existent sports seasons, split graduations, a modified prom, no rallies, a smaller yearbook, online-only newspapers, and it’s up to us to change that. If we want to return to the normal that we had before mask-wearing and lockdown began, we need to make sure that we stay safe.
The situation we are in right now is not our ideal way of living, but if we continue to ignore the protocols placed by the Centers for Disease Control then we might never return back to life as it was before the pandemic.
