Area schools announce their end-of-school year plans

HARTINGTON — Area school administrators have their fingers crossed.

When school began last August, no one knew for sure if the COVID-19 safety measures area schools were forced to adopt would work or not. With only a few weeks left in the school year, area schools are now making plans for the final events of the year and hoping that no COVID-19 break-outs take place here so all activities can go on as planned.
