From Kinsey:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget about the chance to win a gift card ($25-$49.99) to places like El Sancho, Spork, downtown shops, and more!  A little motivation and token of appreciation for getting outside your building\/office and into the community we serve.  (Bingo card here<\/a>.)    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all who visited The Giving Plate and Bethlehem Inn!  (If you missed those, it’s not too late–reach out to me.)  Our next community partner visit is in April, to the Latino Community Association<\/strong>.  Sign up here<\/a> to participate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From ODE (please consider having your students take this survey):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is excited to celebrate that every school district across the state of Oregon has adopted a policy that reduces distractions in classrooms by restricting personal electronic devices from bell to bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ODE, in partnership with the Youth Advisory Council, invites students in grades 6-12 to participate in a 15-minute student-designed survey to share feedback on the current Personal Electronic Device (PED) policy at your school. Student voice matters, and we are looking to ensure that ODE\u2019s support of implementation is meaningful and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
