It could be as simple as a note or a favorite candy bar â just a little something to let the members of the Class of 2021 know while this might be a far from ideal senior year, they are still supported and celebrated.
That is the whole idea behind the â
Valencia County Class of 2021 âADOPT A SENIORââ Facebook page. Page organizer Jessica Romero-Aragon said last year, when her son, Luke Aragon, was finishing his senior year at Belen High School amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, she came across an âadopt a seniorâ page from another state.
âMy son, Luke, participated in that one last year and it was a really wonderful thing. He was adopted by three different families and it was real uplifting,â Romero-Aragon said. âThey would send cards, little emails, inspirational quotes. A couple of months ago, I thought it would be nice to start one for Valencia County.â
