GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The last day of school for many students looked a lot different this year.
But lockers still needed to be cleaned out, and textbooks and supplies needed to be returned.
So Green Bay schools set up a curbside pickup system, so that everything could get back to the students, including diplomas.
Southwest High School principal Rod Bohm tells FOX 11 his seniors had that opportunity Wednesday.
“We have a lot of support staff that came in last week and dedicated a couple of hours to go through all 1,200 lockers, to stack textbooks, to carefully take out student’s belongings and put them in a bag and then tag them, and bring them down to the gym, and make them available. And then here again today, to make sure they have an opportunity to not only give the kid’s their stuff back, but be able to wish them well.”
This all comes after Gov. Tony Evers ordered schools across the state to close in response to the pandemic.
He then extended that order for the rest of the school year.
