Even in these unusual times, one Broadview Heights neighborhood is sticking with its routine.
With all K-12 schools in Ohio having been closed for at least three weeks -- and likely longer -- dating back to last Monday, students from Royalview Elementary have been gathering outside their houses at 9 a.m. each morning to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Two weeks ago, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued an order for Ohio K-12 students to stay home from school for at least three weeks due to concerns relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19). He later admitted that his order could last the entirety of the school year.
At 11:59 p.m. on Monday night, a stay-at-home order for the state of Ohio went into effect. It is currently slated to last until April 6.
