“I just got COVID-19 and I don’t think I can get COVID-19 again, so I don’t feel as threatened... I am definitely disappointed and upset that we can’t have a normal prom“

“I think that wearing masks to prom is really not that bad. I thought we were always going to have to do that.”

“The biggest impact has definitely been that dancing with masks on is extremely difficult. When we are going full out, doing a three minute long dance with heavy masks on, it can be really taxing, and it makes you extra tired and makes your mouth dry.”

“It’s been hard. We have to do a lot of sprints, and running and wearing a mask while doing something as physically challenging as basketball can be very difficult. And it makes it much harder to breathe and much harder to play.”
