The Olympian wants to hear how you’ve been affected by Thurston County school closures

When Gov. Jay Inslee and Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal announced schools would be closed for the rest of the school year to fight the spread of coronavirus, the move changed the lives for the time-being of every student, parent, teacher and other education worker living in the Thurston County area. We would like to hear from you about your experiences and want to know what you need to learn from us.
