Ace Kim, senior: “Well I think we should definitely remain cautious about it but I am very excited to be able to walk around the halls without a mask again and return back to how things were, or, as normal as we can be. It’ll be fun to talk with friends and hang out in class without having to wear a mask. I think we do need to remain careful but I think it’s a good move.
