MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS-YOU NEED TO STAY HOME! KIDS YOUR AGE ARE GETTING SICK. NO SLEEPOVERS OR HANGING WITH GROUPS OF YOUR FRIENDS! OTHER THAN DOING YOUR SCHOOLWORK ONLINE, HANG OUT WITH YOUR FAMILY, READ A BOOK, PLAY GAMES ONLINE, PRACTICE MINDFULNESS, BAKE COOKIES, GO FOR A WALK WITH YOUR FAMILY, WATCH A MOVIE WITH YOUR FAMILY, DISCOVER A NEW HOBBY YOU CAN DO AT HOME, CLEAN YOUR ROOM! MAKE YOURSELF A SCHEDULE OF SOMETHING YOU CAN DO AT HOME EVERY DAY.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE HANGING OUT WITH GROUPS OF FRIENDS. THIS IS NOT SOCIAL DISTANCING. YOU COULD HAVE THE VIRUS AND HAVE VERY FEW SYMPTOMS, OR NO SYMPTOMS, AND COME HOME AND SPREAD IT TO YOUR FAMILY.
THIS IS THE TIME TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS AND STAY HOME!
