PE Cares
We know daily life has become more challenging because schools and businesses have closed. If you are having a hard time getting food, internet, electronic devices from your child’s school, or other resources, we want to hear from you and help! Project Exploration has created PE Cares, a hotline and this page of information to make sure your family is safe during this crisis.
