Some exhibits contain videos, some contain photographs of hands-on projects, and some contain digitallycrafted projects, while others contain screenshots of group experiences. No matter the exhibit, everything was created by the students and I am in awe of the level of effort put out by these students during their tumultuous year. During our time together, several of the students experienced the loss of a loved one, many were ill or supported immediate family members who were ill, and most dealt with missing their friends and the social time that brick and mortar schools provide. Despite this, the students were productive, inquisitive, creative, supportive of each other, silly, and above everything they persevered. I am especially proud of this group of students who will forever remember their seventh grade year at home. As you tour the museum, please remember that twelve and thirteen year old children created everything you see, and all during a year when many things were falling apart. Again, I am so proud and please to have been on the journey with them.
