"The Hub" project continues to grow
Two new critical partners have joined The Hub. As you know, The Hub is a pilot project in Upper Lake to develop the Community School Model specific to rural areas like Lake County. Our long term goal will be to develop The Hub in each community in Lake County and serve as a model for the rural counties.
Sutter Lakeside Hospital has officially joined The Hub team after initially providing the facility for The Hub office on the Upper Lake campus and now providing their Mobile Medical Van on a weekly basis.
Marymount California University has also joined The Hub team which, in the future, may provide student volunteers and possible internships related to community development and community service.
We welcome our new partners and are excited about the opportunities to provide greater services to our communities.
In other "Hub" news, State Superintendent of Schools, Tom Torlakson visited and toured The Hub this past Sunday. The Superintendent was impressed with our spirit of collaboration and strong focus on coordinated services that support the core instructional program at the local community level. Thanks to all The Hub partners for helping make this visit a huge success!
Thanks, and have a good week!

The Big Read Celebrates Mothers & Daughters Exhibit
Photos depicting generations of Lake County women were on display in the Celebrate Mothers & Daughters Exhibit as part of the Lake County Big Read. The event, inspired by the Big Read selection 'Joy Luck Club' by Amy Tam, kicked off a month long celebration of reading in Lake County. Robin Shrive and Patty Diener, pictured above, organized dozens of photos and portraits of Lake County women dating back to the early 1900's, some including five generations! The Celebrate Mothers & Daughters Exhibit was sponsored by Mendo Lake Credit Union, and is still on display in the Kesey Room at LCOE.
The Big read Grant is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts to restore reading and the role of literature in American culture and to encourage citizens to read for pleasure and enlightenment. Click here for more information on The Big Read. |

 Healthy Start Update
The Lake County Office of Education Healthy Start Program assists students in overcoming health and life barriers, so they are ready to learn. We are located in all 7 local school districts.
Last year Healthy Start provided services to 4,034 lake county students. We also identified 780 homeless and 95 foster your students in Lake County. Healthy Start is here to help these students with a wide variety of services from advocacy to specific case managed services. We also work with Child Welfare Services and California Children Services for better health and life outcomes for our families.
Healthy Start takes the lead, working with Public Health, Adventist Health Dental Clinic, Mendocino Community Health Lakeside Dental Clinic, on helping our children access dental care. Our program takes children to the dentist; clinics block out time for us, and we accomplished 1,117 dental treatments for children last year.
