COVID-19 update: State issues new guidance for indoor performances, private events |
|
State health officials have released updated guidance covering indoor live performances and private events. Both documents break down what’s allowable in each tier of California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, although the governor has said the color-coded tiers used to track county progress could be phased out as early as mid-June if certain criteria are met. In addition, the California Department of Public Health on Thursday released recommendations for fully vaccinated people. |

For homeless students at this Santa Ana school, she’s a new lifeline |
|
A young case worker from a nonprofit is helping kids where they go to school. She knows, first-hand, about the challenges they face. Lizbeth Loyola Campos is a case manager with Project Hope Alliance, a nonprofit that works to improve the educational outcomes for homeless children. Because of a new partnership between Project Hope Alliance and the Santa Ana Unified School District, Campos is working at Martin R. Heninger Elementary, a K-through-8 feeder for Santa Ana High. She’s been at Heninger since last month and is slated to work there for at least a year.

Eastvale student creates virtual book club for Corona-Norco youths |
|
An Eastvale student used his time in distance learning to unite kids through a love of reading. In fall, as the coronavirus pandemic continued, Nathan Kaller, an eighth-grader at River Heights Intermediate School in Eastvale, was at home recovering from COVID-19 with his family, attending classes online and feeling disconnected from classmates. So in October, he started a virtual book club with other students, hoping to mentor younger students while providing a volunteer opportunity. Elementary and secondary schools in the Corona-Norco Unified School District reopened in March, but the book club continues its weekly online format and has grown district-wide. |

New micro-scholarships in San Jose build bank accounts and mindsets for college |
|
Typically, many scholarships and accolades come at the end of the senior year to recognize outstanding performance of top students. Imagine instead a series of “micro-scholarships” for a different purpose targeted toward students at low-income high schools. Spread out like bread crumbs over four years, they would build students’ confidence, their resumés and plans for the future, and would end at graduation with as much as $5,000 in the bank for those who have earned them. |
