What North Penn took for granted #BeforeCOVID
As the North Penn community continues through our third week of quarantineing, many of us are realizing many aspects of daily life that we took for granted. North Penn High School students share what they’ve learned.
Going to school and getting to see my friends. But I think the country in general took for granted the cashiers, truck drivers, gas station workers, janitors, and other essential workers who work to keep our country running all year and are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Literally going outside. I know you still can now, but not without fear for your or other’s lives. That and a sense of normalcy and peace. Now, I’m afraid for everyone if I go anywhere because I will not allow someone to get sick at my expense.
