Rachel Cooper, who is 8 years old (and awesome!!!), has had a hard life during the Quarantine. She says, “I have a hard time because the Quarantine makes it so I have to learn from home & my new teacher is sooooo mean!!!!!”

“Before the quarantine, I attended Trout Creek School with seven other students in the 3-4th grade. I liked to read and play on the bars at recess. Now at home, I have to do work every day (even on weekends!!!).”

She says it isn’t all bad, though, “I do school on a computer (which I LOVE!!!), and I even get lunches from school that I warm up. Mom sends us outside for PE and I get to ride bikes with my brother, who usually goes to Noxon School.”

“I miss my friends, though. I’m glad I get to see them online when our regular teacher, Mrs. Etienne, reads books to us and answers our questions every afternoon.”

“I’m glad that my older friends and family are safe. I hope people stay home until this is over.”
