Getting Together   All of the students have gotten back together at Merrimac Community School. No more A and B days! We have gotten back together because one year ago our school stopped doing its usual schedule because of the virus. Luckily the teachers have gotten the vaccine which strengthens their immune system and allows them to fight the virus. If I had told you one year ago that your life was going to change and that you would wear a mask everywhere you went and have to stay six feet away, I bet you would have looked at me as if I was an alien. The important thing is that we took care of each other and though a year is a long time, taking the steps we took and staying apart is better than risking our health. I’m happy we’re safe and we’re on the road to getting back to normal.   Merric Bell Merrimac Community School
