Thank you @devindwyer and @ABCNewsLive

I just wanted to say thank you to Devin Dwyer and ABC News Live for being so awesome with my kids. We've been featured a few times on ABC News Live and wherever else it ultimately aired after. I've spoken about several COVID related topics from remote learning to the importance of wearing a mask. My kids were given a chance to speak their minds about what all of this has been like for them as well. You can check out the clips here.

The kids were so excited to see themselves on TV and for someone to take their views seriously enough…
