• I have a feeling the friends that where on opposite hybrid as me or on all online i'll

never really see again. For example I have had limited interaction for nearly a year with
my best friend since preschool.

• Because we put a lot of work into practicing and it feels like it’s for nothing
• I’m in marching band and the season that I looked forwards to for 4 years pretty much
went up in air. Half of my mock trial team quit due to the online meetings. We have very
little to do in art club. I haven’t even heard anything about prom planning committee. It
feels like all I do is sit on my computer for 8 hours, go to work, and then go to sleep. I
feel so disconnected from myself and from my friends, and I don’t have motivation or
passion for anything. In many ways, it feels like I already graduated.
• bad i miss seeing people
• None of the clubs or sports that I am apart of have been canceled
• I enjoyed interacting with others. When my spring season was cancelled, I was
frustrated and I do not want it to be cancelled again this year. My teammates are very
important to me and I want one last season with them.
• Losing the ability to participate in extracurricular activities was really upsetting ,
especially since it was my last year to participate.
• My life is very vague and lonely
• As a senior it makes me sad that we had not been able support sports teams as well as
have Homecoming. As a varsity basketball player it has been a bit hard to wear a mask
the entire game while other teams only wear them when not playing. We understand
how deadly covid can be but we are young .
• Though my fall sports season did occur, the limitation greatly impacted me. As a senior
it was devastating to have years of hard work come to such a limited season. However, I
was very grateful PR did their best to all keep us safe and able to play. I find virtual clubs
extremely ineffective. There is little information about meeting times and almost no
productivity during meetings. This has all affected me in a negative way especially as a
senior because so many good things I was looking forward to are gone or
different/limited. However, I am just glad to be healthy and do understand that
everyone is facing challenges and obstacles during these times. I appreciate the
resource that this survey provides to seniors as I feel our voice has hardly been heard
this school year. Thank you!
• It has not allowed me to have a full golf season and participate as much in the clubs that
I am in.
• I spend a lot of time on my phone with no activities to make me active
• It is very hard. We have nothing to look forward to. Senior year has been extremely hard
for a lot and it makes it even harder that everything is being taken away from us.
Especially prom considering the senior never had a chance to expire next a high school
prom.
• Sports are the most exciting time of the year for most of us and it’s what we look
forward to every day. Not having the ability has taken away a very important part of
 everyone’s day. It keeps us motivated in school and outside to better ourselves and
better our peers as well.
• It breaks my heart that I cannot spend time doing what I love my last year that I can.
Many kids can’t continue our sport in college, so it is very hard to have this last chance
to participate in our activities and spend time with our friends before we leave each
other.
• Limits the team’s ability to work together and ultimately not be as successful. Also, it
forces the team to rush to prepare, as time is limited or nonexistent.
• Yes. When there is nothing in school that is fun to do outside of the classroom I dislike
school more because of it.
• Yes it made the recruiting process very hard due to lack of season and the track/field is
closed so I am unable to practice my sport right now
• sad
• I’m having trouble finding things to look forward to. School is all there is, and the
hybrid/virtual model is miserable.
• I feel less connected to my peers and I am not doing any of things that make high school
positive and fun. It’s all school work and no activities to make the day go by easier.
• i play volleyball and our season did happen but it’s was frustrating to not have any
closure or standard senior events(senior night, banquet, etc) i also am apart of mini
thon and the virtual meetings are production but they would be much more if we could
do them in person.
• Hopefully not depending on if we have a season or not
• These are the fun activities that bring us together as a school and we feel very
disconnected without them. There are no fun benefits to school as of now and it make it
hard to stay positive.
• Made me sad and anxious
• It was been sad to think that all these years we have spent looking forward to the senior
role in these clubs and activities will never happen.
• I was still able to have a football season this year which I am thankful for. And I know
other sports are trying to happen. But based on what I've seen if you don't play a sport
that hasn't been much for you to do. Ski club is probably the most popular club in the
school and even they are not able to do anything. It's just boring not able to do
anything.
• I was able to have my soccer season in the fall, and during that time I felt more
motivated to do well in school because I was connecting with others, I had things to look
forward to, and I felt like I had purpose outside of churning out assignments and grades.
I am now participating in the musical and track and field, but the limited activity is
definitely discouraging.
• I feel very isolated from my peers and I am missing genuine connections with my peers.
It just stinks that all of this build up and excitement for our senior year has let to this
• I wish I had a senior marching band season. It's my favorite thing about high school.
• It had given me a lot less to look forward too and made me less excited about going to
school.
• Didn’t really have to deal with this only one game was canceled and it our biggest game
sad we didn’t get to play
• Losing my junior lacrosse season hurt my mental health. It took away my outlet and way
to release stress. Now not being able to practice during this preseason is bringing up
those same emotions and feelings as last year and I can’t deal with that again.
• Meeting with clubs virtually takes away the social aspect
• I wish there were bigger crowds for our football games
• It feels like I’m not as connected to people, I also feel like I’m not getting a senior year
and it is very upsetting, so many things that I will never get to experience
• It messed up my plan to play lax but I was lucky to get my football season in which was
very important to me. Now that football is done I feel like I don’t have anything to do I
can’t even watch my friends play their sports and support them
• Loss of marching band was not good seeing my peers and having fun. Loss connection
with friends because we can’t see each other. Seems like a had to grow up to soon.
• It’s been hard. I have always prided myself on being an active member of the
community, and virtual clubs and activities are no where near the same as they were
before the pandemic. However, I recognize that with the pandemic in person activities
are risky, and thus I appreciate that the school is at least giving us something to keep
busy with even if it is virtual
• I don’t have anything to look forward to and lost my connection to my friends.
• Makes me upset
• It has caused me to become less motivated and struggle with my mental health.
• I find no interest in anything anymore.
• I have not been able to see many of my friends because I am a part of many clubs and
extracurriculars.
• With the loss of club meetings and my extracurriculars I have felt a loss of connection
with my teachers and peers. I also feel anxious when the topic of conversation in every
meeting and class is focused on COVID and politics.
• The loss of a sports season had tremendously impacted me as an individual. For some,
including myself, sports are used as an escape from all of the problems they face on a
day to day basis. I understand the circumstances, and that sports teams had to end, but
with no attempt at a replacement, I lost that escape and struggled mentally.
• I was really looking forward to my senior year of sports and clubs, but with Covid not
allowing these things, it has made my senior year very omitting. I am hopeful that Track
and Field is still able to happen, as well as IBL. Please also allow for the annual senior
events to take place.
• I had been on the set design team for the school musical last year, and with little
information about it being released, I hadn’t even known there was a musical. I think if I
had been able to do this, I would have been much better emotionally.
• It’s not the same atmosphere and things are often lost in communication virtually
• It just stinks plain and simple
• I am an art and video student so all of my activities have been put on the back burner.
While parents threw fits for the return of sports we have silently lost everything. Since
 freshman year I looked forward to having my own personal exhibit in the art show. That
was taken last year and most likely will be this year. I also had to settle for a virtual
Rammys Film Festival ceremony and fear it will happen again. Yes, virtual is at least
something, but the experience of an opening night, seeing people admire your work,
watching your film on the big screen, being handed that award; they are all experiences
you can’t get through a computer. These are things that deserve to be celebrated as
much as our sports. It has emotionally destroyed me knowing that the things I have
worked so hard for are not valued enough to find safe solutions for.
• It’s definitely been difficult for me to feel connected with my clubs - we still have zoom
meetings but it’s not the same as being all together (for ex, in peer 2 peer it stinks we
can’t all be in the same room and interact and do crafts together, etc). In terms of
sports, we got to play our soccer season (although I was injured for the entirety of it
which was a bummer), but we were limited in activities we could do because we
constantly had to wear masks. We couldn’t do many social team events this year or
have a normal team brunch; we also couldn’t have our banquet in person which was
really unfortunate for my senior year. We still had a fun season and made the most of it,
but it was definitely a bummer that a lot of it wasn’t normal. I completely understand
why it couldn’t be though - we tried our best with everything we were able to do! It was
memorable in its own way, that’s for sure!
• For most of these, there has been pretty adequate time outside of school in safe
measures to replace these activities. Personally, the safety of my friends and family is
more important that the normal “senior year” experience and we have found ways to
still have some fun during all of this.
• The baseball season is my favorite part of the school year and isolation from my
friends/teammates is difficult
• Less things to look forward to and most these events us seniors will be doing for the last
time.
• Depressing to not be active and see peers. Hard to get motivated to do things and
weight gain because of lack of activity.
• There’s nothing to look forward to, I have no motivation for anything, I’m not learning
anything especially in my AP classes so I’m going to have to take them again in college
and pay more for them. Thanks for ruining senior year.
• Less interaction with the peers/friends that share the same interests as you, making
hard to see others and offering less ways of engaging in hobbies and other things that
interest you. Less ways to get away from the rest of life.
• We should not be playing sports during a global pandemic. We can live without one
season of high school basketball
• I dont see anyone anymore and just sit in my house. Not getting school dances or in-
person classes has made me feel so socially isolated and mentally drained. The lack of in
person has also killed my motivation, I started high school as a try hard, high achieving
student and now i don’t care about my grades and can’t find the energy to wake up and
attend my classes. Lossing my junior lacrosse season was devastating and I learned to be
ok with it because in March of last year covid was something no one really knew how to
 handle, but almost a year later we’ve learned so much about it and know what risk we
are taking on yet the school board refuses to do anything with the students in mind. If
football can happen so can every other sport, but the school doesn’t care about that
they are purely motivated by money and power so sports like girls lacrosse, baseball,
and track don’t matter to them. If other sports and schools are doing this without a
problem it is obvious that the school board is not interested in our health, but rather
maintaining what pathetic power they hold. This is disgraceful and embarrassing and I
hate that I call myself a ram. Something needs to change.
• I feel as though I was never as part of that activity this year.
• It’s been tougher because planning things are more stressful
• Honestly, all of this just does not feel real or fair. At first, I was completely heartbroken
over not having a season and not being able to perform at all, but now I just am numb
to the pain and do not expect anything more than nothing.
• I feel like I am missing out on my last chance to participate in some clubs and activities. I
feel like administration does not fully understand how that feels as a student.
• Obviously this is an odd school year for everyone but it doesn’t really even feel like a
school year, especially senior year. It is very frustrating and disappointing that so many
events that are looked forward to by many seniors are just cancelled with no effort to
make them happen again in any way. My teachers are trying their best but the virtual
model just seems like busy work. It really sucks to have been waiting your entire life to
be a senior and you finally get there and the year is ruined with no support from
administration except ‘i’m sorry :(‘. It feels like they are still stuck on sympathizing with
the class of ‘20, which granted they did have it bad and had their senior year abruptly
cut off, but we have had absolutely nothing close to normal for our senior year at all and
it doesn’t seem like any effort is being made to make anything else later in the year
happen or better. This whole situation is such a let down and i feel like it has made
many seniors lose motivation to try and fix it or be heard because nothing has been
done for us so far even though we lost everything but the class of 20 was given so much
to make up for the portion they lost. This year has felt like reaching a cliff hanger in the
plot and then it just ends
• The loss of extracurricular activities has made it difficult for me to make new friends as
well as have fun in high school. What has been done is the wrong decision on so many
levels.
• Contributed to feelings of isolation

• I really like the in person stuff, but now that we have been virtual I don’t want to go
back cause it doesn’t feel fun at all now since none of that is back

• big disconnect

• Missed senior night, bus rides, banquet, etc as my year as captain. We were so grateful
to have a season but bummed to miss so much too.
