COVID Connection Spotlight: On the bright side...

This situation is hard.  Social distancing is hard.  Distance learning is new.  The future is unclear.  Yet, in spite of the chaos and uncertainty, we are able to find a break in the clouds.  On April 13 and 15, the week students “returned” from the regularly scheduled spring break, 11 school sites were designated to hand out meals to any child under 18.  In those two days alone, 16,256 meals were distributed.  This meant there were 16,256 times when a child had a guaranteed meal.  16,256 times when a caregiver or parent did not have to worry about what their child or children were going to eat.  16,256 times where, even for a moment, children were reminded that LCSD is and will continue to be here for them.  Teachers and all of our staff are doing an incredible job and we could not be more proud of the way in which they are powering through and finding new and unique ways to stay connected with their students.  LCSD looks forward to finding ways to continue to support students, staff and families as we spend the rest of this academic school year in distance learning.

Food distribution has and will continue every Monday and Wednesday from 9-10AM at specified school locations in every community.  Stay safe and keep in touch!  We miss all of you.
