     <p><strong><span class="underline">Be College Ready for 2020-2021</span></strong></p>
-    <p>The start of this upcoming school year will be a new experience for everyone, so we have decided that we will
-      hold off mailing our free <em>Be College Ready</em> materials until later this fall. Traditionally, we have
-      delivered these
-      materials a couple of weeks before the start of the school year in mid-August. However, this year we believe it
-      makes more sense to deliver these materials after Thanksgiving. During the first week of December 2020 every
-      public elementary school will receive free <em>Be College Ready</em> kits for their kindergarten students that
-      will include:</p>
-    <ul>
-      <li>
-        <p> Homework folders, an informational brochure, a bookmark, a Kinder Grad flier explaining the matching
-            program for kindergartner parents and a flier letting families know about our $100 sweepstakes for the
-            2020-2021 school year. Pencils will also be sent for each kindergartener and they can be given to them when
-            distributing the folders.</p>
-      </li>
-      <li>
-        <p> Spanish versions of the <em>Be College Ready</em> kits will be included based on the number of Spanish
-            kindergarteners enrolled at your school during the 2019-2020 school year.</p>
-      </li>
-    </ul>
-    <p>By delaying the delivery of these materials, we believe we are giving schools enough time to adjust to the “new
-        normal” of the 2020-2021 school year. That being said, if there are schools/school districts that would like to
-        receive these materials before the start of the school year and/or before Thanksgiving you can still visit our
-        website at <A href="https://becollegeready.net/materials.php"
-          target="_blank">https://becollegeready.net/materials.php</A> to order materials. </p>
-    <p>The <em>Be College Ready</em> program and its website will be open starting August 17th. Not only will schools
-        be able
-        to order materials, but parents will be able to enter our Cash for College Sweepstakes at
-        <a href="https://becollegeready.net/cash-for-college.php"
-          target="_blank">https://becollegeready.net/cash-for-college.php</a> and the chance to win $100 for an Oregon
-        College Savings Plan
-        account. It is important to keep in mind that elementary schools will be able to order <em>Be College Ready</em> kits for
-        the entire school population and that every elementary parent will once again have the chance to win $100. </p>
+    <p>As most schools start their second semester and begin the process of limited in-person learning for students
+      across the state, we at the Oregon College Savings Plan realize these are challenging times. Administrators,
+      teachers, students and parents are all trying to adjust to the realities of what the pandemic has done to the k-12
+      education process. Every school district is approaching the situation a little bit differently based on the
+      conditions in their community, and we know one size does not fit all. Therefore, we have decided to postpone
+      mailing our Be College Ready kits to elementary schools this year and wait to mail these free materials to
+      elementary schools at the start of the 2021-22 school year, assuming in-person learning will resume then.</p>
+
+    <p>Schools and school districts still have the ability to order kits this year if appropriate for your school
+      situation. Again, kits include free homework folders, bookmarks, pencils and informational brochures. Orders can
+      be placed here: <A href="https://becollegeready.net/materials.php"
+        target="_blank">https://becollegeready.net/materials.php</A>. </p>
+
+    <p>Contained in the homework folders are informational fliers about our Cash For College Sweepstakes where we offer
+      50 families an opportunity to receive a $100 College Savings Plan Account for a student currently in elementary
+      school (k-5). Parents/Guardians can enter the Sweepstakes until February 28th here:
+      <a href="https://becollegeready.net/cash-for-college.php"
+        target="_blank">https://becollegeready.net/cash-for-college.php</a>.</p>
