I m really concerned about our students, Blevins said. I hear parents talking about what they re experiencing with their children and their real life stories and it s just breaking my heart . If we were really creative we could come up with a way to do this. I just don t think there s ever going to be a time when there s no risk, Blevins added. We re going to have to live with this and we ve been out of school a year . how long will this go on?
Mt. Shasta area trustee Lori Harch noted that many of the district s students are already socializing with each other on a daily basis, a statement that student trustee Caleb Hanson confirmed.

Kaleb Hanson is only 9, but he s been inspiring his friends - and schoolchildren across Hampstead and beyond - to fundraise for the NHS as part of a baking campaign.
Kaleb, a pupil at St Eugene De Mazenod Primary, has raised £1,175 for NHS Charities Together with a bake and create campaign.
His dad Eddie told this newspaper: We are extremely proud, just simply watching Kaleb bringing the community together while raising funds for the NHS.
Eddie said Kaleb had arranged and chaired a zoom meeting with his classmates, and encouraged them to help by baking, drawing, or even building with Lego to show love for the NHS.
