Gladstone and Early Childhood Family Education gardening
Gladstone Senior Center did some gardening with the children at ECFE. Each child partnered with a senior and planted herbs all while learning about nurturing, patience, cooperation and trust. We're very excited to watch them grow!
Starbase rocket launch at Justice Page
Winter weather prevented the Starbase participants from launching their rockets last month so the Starbase staff came to Justice Page! All of the students created their own rockets and were able to launch them last week.

In the meantime, families that currently do not qualify for free or reduced meals must continue to pay for school meals for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year.

Discounted At-Home Internet
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month off their internet bills (or up to $75 per month for households living on Tribal lands), as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 off an eligible connected device like a laptop, desktop computer or tablet. In many cases, households can get high-speed internet without paying a dime by choosing a fully covered internet plan.
A household is eligible to participate in the ACP if a child in the household receives free or reduced-price school meals. Therefore, under the ACP rules, every household with a child attending a school participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program is eligible for ACP benefits.
Households can learn more and apply for the ACP at GetInternet.gov.
