Gov. Herbert made the announcement around 1:30 this afternoon. The soft closure of Utah's public schools....stays in effect through the end of the school year. 

Imagine you're a high school senior.  You've been waiting since you were a little kid for this glorious and memorable moment in your life.  Spring of your senior year.  Graduation.  The parties.  The planning for college.

Well, we talked with two high school seniors 

Farmington High School Senior Gabe Judkins explains how he felt when his dad broke the news. 

I agree. It *is* a little bit weird. 

North Summit High Senior Kelsey Nelson says she feels overwhelmed. 

Kelsey says she's not sure how graduation will play out. 

Strange times, for sure. But, Gabe's comment resonates.  For all the disappointment... this.. is just another challenge to work through.
