This - I point this out all the time. And even for the few where the *buildings* closed, the schools went on. The school is not the building. The school is the people, the community, the teaching and learning. It was different, changed - but it went on.

15... it's actually black and yellow in spite of the lighting. Don't @ me - I know I messed up the stripe pattern near the top. We're going to call it a feature, not a bug...
