Thanksgiving Time!

 Thanksgiving Time!!

By: Alina Prykazka


This year, thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26. Families are going to be gathered around their dining table, ready to feast. It is going to be hard, since the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of our activities, sports, and holidays. Even though this will affect the way we celebrate thanksgiving and will have more precautions,  it is still important to spend time with your family. 

Before inviting all of your guests, let them know that if they are feeling a bit sick or anything of the sort, they should stay home. This is very important because anything could happen. Even if there is a slim chance of anything major, do not risk it, it is always better to stay safe. 

At this time, it is better to wear a mask and keep at least six feet apart from people that are not from your household. Since that would be hard, it is suggested that going outside is a great idea, since there is more space and it is not clustered. Keeping things small is also a respectable decision, you don’t want it to be a party, just a small family gathering. “We’re not totally sure if we are going to get together during thanksgiving, and we’re leaning towards no due to COVID-19,” says the family of Rachel Maltese.

Adjusting to your area is very important. For instance, if you live in a state where COVID-19 cases are high, you might want to switch to doing your family gathering online. By facetiming your family members, you and your family are obviously at lower risk of getting sick. If your state has low amounts of COVID-19 cases, you should visit them; still being cautious.

Students Get Used to Our COVID-19 Rules By: Alina Prykazka This year at Bishop Foley Catholic High School students and teachers finally arrive back at school, but with new rules and challenges to face. Everyone in the building has to wear a mask, as social distance in the hallways and in classrooms.  While eating lunch in the cafeteria, only 1-3 students are allowed at each lunch table. Surely, it must be difficult for staff and students to interact with each other with these masks covering their mouth and nose, while also maintaining a good 4-6 feet away from each person.  Sometimes change is difficult to adjust to. Some students and teachers say they have a hard time breathing in the masks, others work just fine with it. Some people have a hard time hearing others, when the other person is wearing a mask. You can not see their lip movements, which means you have to understand them only based on hearing. Of course, teachers Mrs. Cleghorn and Mrs. Petty have thought ahead ...
