Spring has officially sprung. Leaves are beginning to spring up on trees, flowers are beginning to bloom all across Middletown, and people are finally beginning to go outside and enjoy the nice weather after the brutal winter the United States had just been through.

However, with all of these benefits that come with spring, there are also many downfalls as well. Allergies are officially upon Middletown North students and this year the damage has definitely been done by Mother Nature.

As of right now, almost everybody, in every classroom, has either been sniffling, blowing their nose constantly, having a case of teary eyes, or even just sneezing constantly. These conditions, and many more, have caused disruptions in the classrooms and even have caused several students, and teachers, to be absent from school.

Even with all of the rough allergy symptoms that have been going around throughout the past couple of weeks, summer is practically upon students and within the next couple of weeks they will be relaxing at home or even on the beach without a care in the world.
