members of their community.
Reflections from Mr. Swegles
We all have been thrown into an experience that prior to March 16 was completely foreign to us. Nobody is expecting perfection and to do such a thing would be an exercise in futility. Like many of you, I am missing the routine that our school schedule provided, and I'm sure our families are as well. By encouraging our students to stay engaged in their learning opportunities that does provide some structure as well as connection to a group which is also good for the mental health of our students.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support. Please, do not hesitate to reach out to me if you need anything. We are still happy to assist however possible while continuing to put the safety of our staff and students first.
Mrs. Southard and Caring Cupboard
At this point, it's getting harder for folks who have non-essential jobs. And when people go to the stores, some of the most needed items are not on the shelves. Caring Cupboard is fully stocked, and there is no reason we can't empty the Cupboard during the shutdown. I've included a link in this email that you can share with families who may mention they are in need of food. They will have to share their phone number and set an appointment to pick up the food. The form allows people to "shop" our cupboard virtually. Some items are in good supply, others are more limited, so I am trying my best to avoid waste by picking each order rather than giving away pre-set bags that might contain unwanted items.
Here is the link to the google form for ordering food from Caring Cupboard.

If you know of people wanting to help others, I've attached a list of our top 10 needs as well.
