Greetings, fellow Spartans! With many schools, including all WCCUSD schools, being closed in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it’s expected that many students are voluntarily remaining indoors (also known as self-quarantining) during this period in time until the coast is clear (however long that will be).

If you get bored easily being indoors for long periods of time, don’t fret for I have compiled a huge list of activities that you all can participate in while being in self-quarantine!

1: Complete any work that your teachers assign online in the coming weeks!

2: Listen to your favorite music.

3: Do some physical exercises, such as walking and dancing.

4: Play your favorite video games, preferably with friends if possible!

7: Chat with your friends online over the phone or through Discord.

With the United States having more confirmed cases of the Coronavirus than any other country, it is very important that you self-quarantine when possible to decrease your chances of catching it from someone who is infected or spreading it to other people. Stay safe, Spartans! Take care of yourselves and those around you.
