Team Event Strategy: We know teams are in meetings doing a ton of planning for some big event ideas. Why not test run something out at lunch or at a school-wide event like a game or production? Working on health and wellness - share yoga poses on your Instagram, do a breathing meditation before a test taking day. Working on STEM? Choose an Hour of Code activity or Made with Code activity and share out school-wide and host a gathering (maybe to teach parents!) in a classroom. All these activities build out your audience and messaging!
