This year, my son is a senior and like many others, has experienced a worst year than last years seniors. Who would have thought it could have been worse? We are doing in person learning a couple days a week(by last name so not even with their friend groups) limited sports and NO senior events that have always been something ALL kids to look forward to when becoming seniors. Our hope was January would come and things would change, it’s not looking so good. Weird though, we can host NFL and other money making sporting events but not football, basketball or volleyball? Our COVID numbers did NOT drastically increase when soccer took place so what is the problem with football? Outside, in the cold, with helmets and pads on? Basketball, hmmm maybe right... No because swimming is taking place. Volleyball, only 6 on the court at a time. Doesn’t make sense.  Again they have not drastically increased since the start of school within the said age range. So what’s stopping us from allowing our kids to have an enjoyable years with some limitations? All parents want is to be able to see their children enjoy an extracurricular activity that some kids stay in school and do well in school just so they can play sports. It has set a presidency for them academically and socially. It is confusing to them on why some sports are allowed and some aren’t. They can’t even feel excitement watching their favorite NFL or NBA team knowing they can’t play. We understand restrictions and I know most parents would be ok with the limitations or spectators, masks and social distancing, just let them enjoy their last year as a kid, we can NEVER get this back!! Please Governor Cuomo with all RESPECT, we need this for our kids!! Parents are willing to work together to make this happen!! Please help our kids as they look to you as their leader.
