Good morning Panther Nation!

According to a release from Parson’s office regarding the “Show Me Strong Recovery,” “Missouri will gradually begin to reopen economic and social activity” on May 4.

In Phase One, which takes effect next Monday, the governor’s plan calls for “no limitations on social gatherings, as long as necessary precautions are taken and six feet of distance can be maintained between individuals and/or families.”  This phase will last through May 31st.  There are a lot of other items related to the reopening as well dealing with businesses etc.  At the end of the article that I was reading, the last sentence was this- “As we begin to reopen, we will be prepared, but the virus is still here,” he said in a statement.  With all the pressure to reopen the economy (which I will contend is very important) I hope that this is the right move.  I guess time will tell.

Students please keep working hard - just a couple weeks left until summer!

Senior class members please remember the zoom meeting tonight at 8 p.m.  I hope to see you there!

Stay healthy!
