Hey kids.... as school starts and you go to the cafeteria for lunch and see someone sitting alone... Sit with them... Talk to them... Laugh with them... Introduce them to your friends... You know, all the things you’d like someone to do for you if you were sitting alone.

More important than content is simply making sure kids are OK. Families should feel no pressure to get content covered. They should keep kids safe & unafraid while schools see that parents facing illness or job loss don't feel overwhelmed by school expectations.
