Sisters River, left, and Rowan Flynn blow bubbles Friday morning next to their home on Taylor Street in Auburn. “We have been cooped up inside since school closed and today was the first day we have been able to get outside,” their mom Hayley said. “My kids have an autoimmune disease so I have not dared let them out, but today is a damp and drizzly day so there is nobody outside and they really need to get out. There are usually a lot of kids in the neighborhood that all come over and play but it’s too dangerous as they don’t understand about keeping their distance.” Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Buy this Photo

The students will start online classes Monday. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
