-    <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"

+    <p>
+      Our plan is to send all public elementary schools with kindergarten students our Be College Ready kits free of
+      charge in mid-August, when students are expected to return to school. Those kits will include free homework
+      folders, informational brochures about the Oregon College Savings Plan and a flier explaining our Kinder Grad
+      program. With Kinder Grad, kindergarten-aged kiddos get an extra $25 added to their savings when parents open an
+      Oregon College Savings Plan account for their child. Kits will be sent in both English and Spanish for
+      distribution to each school’s kindergarten classes.
+    </p>

+    <p>
+      This year, age limits have been lifted for our annual school sweepstakes, allowing parents to enter the drawing on
+      behalf of children up to the age of 17. Information on our Be College Ready program and sweepstakes can be found
+      at <a href="https://becollegeready.net" target="_blank">https://becollegeready.net</a>. You can also order additional free materials to be delivered to your school or
+      request an informational presentation for families who might be interested in learning more about the Oregon
+      College Savings Plan.

+    <p>
+      More details on Be College Ready will be available as the start of the 2021-2022 school year approaches. And stay
+      tuned as our website goes through an upgrade this summer!
