Stay alert to Corona Virus

PACE Educators - Corona virus remains a danger. PLEASE continue to protect yourselves and encourage those around you to wash hands, use social distancing and wear facemasks. If you know anyone without access to facemasks why not demonstrate how they they can make their own.
