Forming a connection, sharing encouragement, and spreading joy to others is at the center of the new project from Generations Unite, a student club at Westlake High School. As part of their, "Hope Notes" project, the club is putting a call out to the community to share drawings, pictures, or handwritten letters that may be digitally delivered to residents of local senior homes.

When I became Superintendent of the Conejo Valley Unified School District almost three years ago, I shared my vision for doing things “the Conejo Way,” with teamwork, relationship building, trust, and accountability to help ensure ideal academic outcomes for the students we serve. We are now at an unprecedented time in our school district’s history, and over the last two weeks, we as a district, and community, have tested our trust, and our ability to work together, while physically being apart, like never before. As we formally embark in distance learning for our 18,365 students I am beyond proud of the teamwork I have witnessed, and been a part of, and of the growth mindset we, as a community, have embraced in the best interest, and for the safety of our community’s youngest members.
