#kindness1billion: Here’s a photo collection of schools celebrating the season of giving with food drives |
|
Many schools and districts across Orange County organized food drives throughout November to help families in need feel a sense of hope during the holiday season.
The rapid rate of inflation, from housing to grocery and gas, has left many people across the country in greater need of assistance due to food insecurity. While families continue to turn to local food pantries and organizations for support, food banks are searching for more volunteers and donations to meet the community’s demand.

|
After a viral TikTok video created by an anti-crime group spurred an investigation, a Tustin Unified educator was arrested Wednesday, Nov. 23, on suspicion of contacting a minor with intent to commit sexual assault, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said. In an email sent Nov. 20 to Tustin Unified families, school district Superintendent Mark Johnson said the administration was aware of the investigation into Kavigan, a teacher at Foothill High School, and was cooperating with law enforcement. Kavigan was put on paid administrative leave, according to school officials. |

Teachers felt more COVID anxiety than healthcare workers, study finds |
|
Teachers were far more likely than other workers to experience anxiety during the first year of the pandemic, a newly released study has found. And among teachers, those who worked remotely for most of the 2020-21 school year reported higher rates of depression and loneliness than those who worked in-person. The study was published earlier this month in Educational Researcher, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Educational Research Association. |
