My message is to the seniors of Ada High School.
All of us who went to Ada HS can sympathize with what you guys are going through. Spring sports were cancelled, so those of you who were in track, baseball, soccer, etc... won't get to play your final season :(
Prom, graduation, and more have been cancelled, and you probably feel like you have been cheated out of one of the best times of your lives, which is natural.
