           1. Chalk Your Walk - Decorate the end of your driveway with an inspiring image or words

           2. "Visit" with a Grandparent - Older adults often feel lonely and isolated because of the pandemic.  Call or video chat with a grandparent or other older neighbor to check on them and give them someone to talk to.

           3. Video of Book Reading - Record yourself reading a favorite children's story.  Email the video to Mrs. Claire. She will post videos for younger SCS students to enjoy read alouds.
