The shelter-in-place order, coupled with the online learning and social distancing guidelines, has brought forth a multitude of unexpected challenges. Even recording this podcast was a struggle — Zoom recordings are, unsurprisingly, not the same as real-life ones — yet in this episode, we do our best to uncover some of the positives that have emerged from this situation, and perhaps provide hope and optimism for not only ourselves, but everyone in the MVHS community and beyond as we work together in our fight against COVID-19.
