t would have been impossible to match the energy of sisters Avia Attucks and Aspyn Attucks as they buzzed around the new exhibits at Morehead Planetarium & Science Center, getting a boost from their parents when they wanted a closer look. The planetarium reopened in November with reduced admission capacity and timed tickets after months of renovations. Read more about what’s new – and what the sisters thought of their visit – on page 26. We round out the rest of our Kids & Family edition with a few other heartwarming stories: An all-kid theater troupe put on plays last fall to cheer up their Morgan Creek neighbors; the Steffens siblings, who not only adjusted to regular online learning but also continued their Chapel Hill School of Musical Arts lessons virtually; and finally, two high schoolers used their love of video games to make birthdays special for a dozen kids last year by building Minecraft realms to move parties to a digital format. Even in times like these, kids prove just how resilient and adaptable they are. It’s certainly an inspiration to see. CHM
