It is definitely easy to understand how the 2019-2020 school year caused disappointments for students around the world.  Our mentees were also impacted.  Students missed festivities such as proms, lunches, picnics, dances, walking across the stage as graduates, and many more social gatherings.  However, many activities were performed virtual.

     Nevertheless, students are persevering and adapting as best they can for the 2020-2021 school year.  Below is a list of schools by city and state where our students are attending and the method of participation, virtual (V) or hybrid (H).
