"Worse, parents of kindergartners and first graders but not also older kids, they’re starting off with no familiarity with the community norms."
Yeah, that would be me. My oldest started kindergarten this school year. I have no idea how parents normally interact with each other.
Regarding the dophin-window idea:
That's really cool! In March 2020, I participated in the "Teddy Bear Hunt" where people put a teddy bear in their front window. From what I recall, the campaign didn't get a ton of tweets. I monitored #teddybearhunt for a few days just to see anything interesting. We didn't see any teddy bears in windows around our neighborhood. I'm glad your dolphin window project got participation.
I've mentioned this/him before, but I think this topic is very well addressed by Chicago's own Jahmal Cole's "My Block My Hood My City" initiative/organization, and you should check it out if you haven't already: https://www.formyblock.org/
