<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you so much to all who joined us this morning! We had about 120 participants and it was wonderful to hear from so many on the call.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few <b>take-aways</b> from the conversation:<u></u><u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="gmail-m_-8881005870161596703MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Communities are craving routines and boredom busters, so post a schedule with content that might engage the whole family.
<u></u><u></u></li><li class="gmail-m_-8881005870161596703MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Think outside-the-box on how to reach out to those in your community that do not have virtual access. (Don’t forget accessibility guidelines)
<u></u><u></u></li><li class="gmail-m_-8881005870161596703MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Teen engagement might be as simple as offering them a virtual chat or game room – lots of concern for teens in this time overall.
<u></u><u></u></li><li class="gmail-m_-8881005870161596703MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Less is more; families are very overwhelmed right now so share challenges and engaging activities that are not necessarily curriculum heavy. <u></u><u></u></li></ul>
