Paly Assistant Principal Jerry Berkson observes students eating during lunch break to ensure that those on campus follow safety protocols. Berkson said students have a broad range of emotional responses to the pandemic, and he says he hopes that reopening and socialization will help address the mental health needs of all students. “I think different people are affected in different ways [with] their mental health through this whole thing [pandemic],” Berkson said. “I have two kids, and I would say they werent affected at all.” [[is there a better quote you can use here? maybe something that actually has to do w/campus and what the picture is about]] [[also if the picture was originally higher res, you should crop in more i think]] Photo: Daniel Garepis-Holland.

Customers line up outside the Palo Alto Creamery and wait for takeout and outdoor dining. Like many small businesses, the locally famous restaurant has been struggling financially during the pandemic. To help protect the restaurant, Palo Alto High School graduate Olvia Koyama created an online fundraiser in honor of mother. “The Creamery has remained a place that really makes Palo Alto feel like home,” Koyama stated in an email.

Shifting locations during COVID-19, the Palo Alto High School Wellness Center has quickly adapted to new spaces — both physical and virtual. Wellness Outreach Officer Whitney Aquino said that although the Wellness Center staff is unable to check on students in the same way they normally would, they are offering resources to ensure that students feel supported. [Previously] theyre taking a break in class and then you can say, Do you want to talk to someone? and they might end up opening up ... versus when were online, folks can just take a break in their own homes, she said. Weve seen perhaps fewer people dropping in, but weve also seen more people who are able to access resources by coming in on their own or filling out the form. Photo: Andy Robinson
