The County of Mendocino will be at Leggett Valley School TODAY for a Community Resilience Outreach and Listening Session from 5:30-7pm. Please join us in the school library to share our needs with the County and Supervisor Gjerde, who is working hard on our behalf to make sure our small community is not overlooked. Last year, the County received a "Prepare California Jumpstart" grant award to hire grants staff and pursue resilience grants supporting the census tracts in Mendocino County designated by CalOES as demonstrating high hazard exposure and high social vulnerability. The input provided by the community at these outreach and listening sessions will be used to help determine the types of resilience projects we pursue grant funding for in the future.

Good Evening Panther Families as you may be aware we are still in a Transportation crunch this week. Steven is driving the North bus route. Teachers Lyle and Amber will be doing the morning south van run pick up. The after school PM south drop offs will be driven by Cliff Tuesday, Thursday ,and Friday and Wednesday by Shelley, leaving campus at 3:20pm. Please be available to pick up your child at their stop. As many parents that can pick up or drop off would be greatly appreciated. Please contact the school at 707-925-6285 if you have any questions and to confirm who needs parent/school transportation. Were expected to be back to our normal transportation operation next week. Thanks so much for your patience, understanding and help as we get through this transportation dilemma.

We will be showing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse outside tonight by the gazebo at dusk for Family Movie Night. Special thanks to our student leadership for their planning and preparation. We hope to see you all here!
