2×10 Relationship Building: The 2×10 strategy involves spending two minutes per day for 10 consecutive school days connecting with an individual student or adult to build authentic relationships and offer extra social-emotional support.

- What’s an occasion like a birthday or anniversary that you can celebrate with the adults on your “my list”?
