WEEK #16, December 11, 2020 Cambrian School District
Dear Cambrian Families,
Only one more week left of school in 2020--amazing! As we finish out this year, I want to say thank you to each of you for your remarkable contributions to make this challenging year one that united us, compelled us, and inspired us to collaborate for the sake of our amazing Cambrian students. Despite the obstacles, we are proud to say our students and staff have persevered and created dynamic, robust learning environments online. Thank you for making a difference in Cambrian!
Have a wonderful weekend! We are Cambrian!
Staying Connected through Technology
We want to do everything we can to help with your technology needs. Thanks for your partnership!
We are planning our next webinar, Using Technology to Support Organization and Study Skills. This will be targeted mainly toward our 3rd through 8th graders. Although each webinar is recorded, we love to have as many folks attend as possible. Please take a moment to fill out this one-question survey regarding preferred webinar times!

Help Protect Student Programs
On behalf of Cambrian students, thank you to the 500+ plus people who already signed a letter of support. If you’ve already signed, please consider sharing this information with your family, friends and neighbors -- everyone can support the initiative.
You can help PROTECT STUDENT PROGRAMS by supporting the "Support Our Students" land development initiative. Thirty seconds of your time can help generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in ongoing, annual revenue without increasing taxes in the community. Click here to sign a letter of support and to learn more.
Due to chronic state underfunding, declining enrollment, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cambrian School District is facing a budget deficit. Since early 2019, the District has been assessing potential district-owned land development opportunities to create additional on-going, annual revenue to sustain our award-winning programs.

Families will be given meals for 7 days on each of these dates.
