ACROSS AMERICA The coronavirus pandemic has been incredibly challenging for the nation s children. It has closed schools down indefinitely, disrupting their traditional learning routine and separating them from classmates and friends.
The pandemic has also forced many youngsters to celebrate huge milestones, like birthdays and holidays, in quarantine away from cousins, aunts, uncles and beloved grandparents. Playtime at the park and other venues is no longer the same due to social distancing.
