<div>Hi all— As we mentioned in our last email, the loss of instruction during this health crisis will take a tremendous toll on student learning. It even has a name now: the Covid-19 Slump! This article (below) explains the phenomenon pretty clearly. You
might consider using the article with administrators who are trying to decide what to do this summer and in the fall to help students catch up. </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, people are wondering whether Edge is filling orders. We are! In fact, this is the perfect time to use some of the supply money in school budgets as the fiscal year ends. Please feel free to send us your orders. We will be glad to process them and
hold back on shipping them until a date that you specify. As always, we will be glad to work things out. We are SO appreciative of the work that you do every day to help children and teachers! Jean and Don</div>
