This means students have online school, cancelled testing, no sports, and cancelled senior activities. “The moments and memories I looked forward to the most were taken from the class of 2020,” said Chloe By Clayton Smith Gidcumb, a senior. The girls have to wait another few months before they Due to COVID-19, graduation was Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you your new Baldwin can compete and it has caused disappointment among the postponed, prom was cancelled, and Queen, COVID-19 aka Miss Baldwin.

Obviously, virtual school came with some challenges. “It’s difficult because I feel less of a connection with my teachers,” said Cameron Dennis. “I feel like I’m not get- ting the same level of education.” Online school doesn’t only come with downfalls. “Online school has helped me focus more on myself and it has given me more time for self-care,” said Lutvenia Chauvel, an 11th grader. “Online school isn’t all that bad,” said Brooklyn Howell. Students have been looking at the bright side of this new way of learning. Some students are even happy about it; however, student athletes are not. This is because the sporting events were cancelled. “It makes me upset because my teammates were like sisters; I miss them and playing the sport I love,” said Kayla Robinson, a varsity softball Miss Baldwin Contestants player.

The newest entry in the series, New Horizons, came out on March 20th, 2020. The game is a life simu- lator where the player lives on an island with anthropomorphic animals and bonds with them. Each game in the series adds something unique from the last entry. New Horizons takes place on an island that the player can freely customize.
