There are some events that are so big and disruptive, they change how we as a society and individuals view our world on every level. Obviously,
the COVID-19 pandemic is our most recent example. In this issue, COVID references make their way into stories about office design, a homeschool
collective, a new grocery store and a preschool. And, honestly, I find it kind of inspiring. There’s evidence here that beautiful things are coming out of an unfathomably difficult time. Nowhere is this more clear than in our Senior Spotlight high school student profiles. Many of these students finished their eighth grade year in virtual school and started high school under highly unusual circumstances. They took classes over Zoom and didn’t have access to some extracurricular activities that we’ve always just taken for granted. But they still thrived.
