Fifth grader Anja VanderMeiden asks the Cloquet School Board to make masks optional when school starts again in September. She was homeschooled last year because of Covid-19, but is excited to get back to school in person. "I am worried that I will have to wear a mask," she read. "Nobody will know who I am and it will be hard to make new friends."
