Hula Solidarity!

Naomi (center front, with purple sleeves) had to wear a mask to Hula Class this past weekend. She’s never complained of wearing her mask in the past but since she’s been doing so well for so long (she has not worn the mask since September), she'd grown accustomed to not needing it. She was completely embarrassed about the mask and cried, completely unwilling to dance wearing the mask. I had given up trying to convince her to dance, and was about to leave the school when several of her classmates offered to also wear a mask also to make Naomi more comfortable. Once Naomi saw that she would not be the only student in a mask, she decided to dance and had a great class. I was brought to tears the kindness of ladies of this school.
