Welcome gifts
Last week, Jefferson Elementary students got a surprise gift, courtesy of Parkside Christian Chapel. After receiving a donation of Bombas socks, Parkside donated a pair of socks to every student at Jefferson, along with a Rice Krispie Treat and Nutri-Grain bar. Students trickled in to Jefferson last week to pick up individual wrapped packages with socks and snacks.
Rallying to reopen
A group of student and parent demonstrators met outside of Cloverdale High School on Feb. 17 to show support for reopening schools. Signs being held by demonstrators emphasized the toll that extended distance learning has had on student mental health, and mentioned prioritizing students over teachers unions.
