Seniors from St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes gather March 30 while practicing social distancing
T.C. Williams High School junior Maeve Waller said, "It’s a frustrating situation, but I think our teachers and staff at T.C. are handling it really well with getting out content. It’s nice that we can still do things like this – staying 6 feet apart but still be with our friends."
According to the Alexandria Gazette, "A group of high school seniors from Saint Stephen’s & St. Agnes got together March 30 in a parking lot to enjoy the outdoors but also practice social distancing. “Our hope is to have a graduation,” said SSSA senior Liliana Dowling. “We don’t have classes but are trying to stay connected as much as we can as a senior class."
