As we reach the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 shutdown – and this newsletter – we are encouraged by signs that a return to normal life is on the horizon. But we recognize this transition will be different for each family, and we know that learning happens at home in normal times, too. So At Home with Arizona PBS isn't going anywhere. Every Wednesday, we'll continue to bring you the latest news and supply free resources for families and educators.
