As it is known worldwide, COVID-19 is quickly spreading in many countries. There are currently 896,000 cases in the United States, and 37,069 cases in Pennsylvania.
West Branch, along with other PA schools, is in its last week of remote learning. Yes, it is extremely important for students to participate in their schoolwork, but it is equally important to relax and take care of yourself. Here are some activities students and teachers sent in. I hope these inspire you to get up and do something that lifts up your spirits.
Ally Shingledecker:
Ally enjoys going on hikes with her family. During her time in quarantine, Ally and her family went to the 1,000 step hiking trail near Mount Union.
