9-R will be putting out the food bags for families this summer in partnership with Manna. The bins will be outside DHS, Admin, SSE, FLM, FME and AVE on Thursdays (starting 6/4). Families just drive up and take one bag per student for assistance with non-perishable foods. To that end, we are also hosting a food drive with community partners to support this program.

Dear Escalante Community,

We appreciate your patience as we developed our plan for the pick-up of student materials. Starting on May 26, Escalante Middle School students can begin retrieving their personal belongings by Team/Last Name. Students with Chromebooks are asked to return those devices and retrieve personal items on June 1-2 so that they can continue to use the devices to support their learning.

Please see the link below to read more.

Hi everyone, Ransom here! So my human (you may know her as Ms. Robyn), told me that it is really important that we all stay at home and take care of ourselves to make sure as many humans as possible can stay safe and healthy right now. I am super bummed I can't see you all in person, but I love you all, so I definitely want to do my part to make sure you and your families stay well! Which means.... I get to have my own newsletter! I have lots of thoughts, and I am very excited to be able to share them with you all on, get ready for it, Ransom’s Notes!

Here's how it will work: At least once a week (hopefully twice, but man it is hard to type with paws, so you guys will just have to be patient while I get things up and running. I've tried to use that Google speech to text thing too, but it just keeps typing "bark bark bark bark bark."), I will send out my thoughts around a theme; some of my "Tricks for Pawsitivity," or activities you can try around that theme; and a "Dinner Question," just a fun question to talk about with those around you. I would love to hear back from any and all of you about if you tried the activities, how adorable I look in pictures, what your thoughts on the theme are, your answers to the Dinner Questions, or anything else at all. Read my weekly notes attached below.

Work hard, be kind, and stay PAWSITIVE!
Ransom
