“Our youngest children wear masks in school,” said Sharon McKeeman, founder of “Let Them Breathe”. “They are not at risk of contracting COVID. Science shows that they are not super spreaders. We know that they feel the most harmful physical and mental health effects, even more than older children.”

Let Them Breathe will host an event called “Smilefest” at the Carlsbad Mission Church from 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday, with speakers and more topics on mask selection
