We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving break. Just a reminder: having safe schools is a group effort. We all are a part of this community and we all have to take into consideration the safety of others as well as the safety of ourselves and our families.
None of us wants to be the reason another person gets sick. So, make sure you don't bring the virus back to school with you when you return to class on Monday. If you know you have been exposed to someone who has Covid-19, or if you are not feeling well yourself, stay home. Get tested. Be safe, and help us to keep Monroe County Schools safe and healthy.

Keys Energy Services recently donated backpacks to the Monroe County School District. The 2,400 backpacks will be used county-wide to help tackle the issue of food insecurity with students and their families. "These are bags we would normally have given out at community events," said Keys Energy spokesperson Julio Torrado. "Since many of these events were canceled due to the pandemic, we thought this was a great way to use them. Food insecurity in our community should be something we are all concerned about," he said.
