Five Years After the Lockdown

About this episode

The episode reflects on the experiences and lessons learned by students during the COVID lockdown five years ago.

Episode 32 Today marks the 5 year anniversary of the beginning of the COVID lockdown in 2020. Our students were in 1st, 2nd, and third grade when it happened, so we take some time to reflect on what it was like for them, how they felt, what they experienced, and what lessons they learned (or didn't learn). ----------------- Produced and edited by Zack Jackson Created in partnership with the Pottstown School District and the STRIVE Initiative https://www.pottstownschools.org/ https://striveinitiative.org/ If you would like to get involved with our mentorship program, check out the available opportunities below.https://striveinitiative.org/how-to-help/
