They not only did not have a junior prom, but their senior prom has already been nixed; thus, they will have graduated without any prom. They started their senior year virtually and will spend most of their senior year not directly seeing each other's smiles during school. They will not have a senior Homecoming dance; in fact, they do not even get to have a finally home football game their senior year. So much of what people have expected high school to be about is being denied to them.
Still, they are persevering despite the difficulties. Certainly, this school year will be the one talked about for years and decades to come (at least, I pray that nothing tops this). Instead of a Homecoming dance, they have organized an outdoor Homecoming activity night which includes a bonfire, games, and a showing of The Black Panther (which is a nice tribute to Chadwick Boseman in this tragic year). Since I've been in the middle of To Kill a Mockingbird, I can't help but think of Jem putting together a snowman in the midst of the only snow their town had seen in about fifty years. There was no way he should have been able to accomplish it, yet he did anyway.
Like Atticus, I see hope in this group's future as they will work to figure out a way.
