This Wednesday (Jan 27th) we have 2 unique opportunities: 

At 10:00 we have the opportunity to attend a virtual job-tour with a guest speaker from Panda Express. This is an opportunity specifically for students on an IEP. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the job and possibly get hired 🙂 .

Dinner is Served!
Youth now receive free dinner, along with breakfast and lunch
Starting this week, the free meals offered to 4J students and youth 18 years and younger include breakfast, lunch and dinner, all nutritious and delicious.

Meals are available to grab-and-go from 10 sites across the district, 10:45 a.m.–2 p.m. each school day. Daily meal menus are available online. Dinner meals are provided Monday–Thursday, with an extra serving on Thursdays to cover Fridays. Extra breakfast and lunch servings are offered on Fridays to cover the weekend.

The district also is currently providing home delivery of meals to children who don’t live near a meal pickup location or need assistance accessing meals. Families can request delivery of youth meals to their home within the Eugene School District. Children do not have to be students in 4J schools or meet any income requirements.

There are no Connections classes this coming Monday 1/18 because we are celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. birthday.  

Let’s continue to work on our goals and make progress towards our dreams! Access your classes here:

From Jan. 9-12, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn will be visible in the southwestern sky. The celestial event is known as a “triple conjunction,” which means two planets and a third planet meet each other in the sky for a short period of time.

Shortly after sunset on Jan. 9, look above the southwestern horizon and you will see Mercury to the left of Saturn and Jupiter positioned just above Saturn.

“From Friday evening to Monday evening, the planet Mercury will appear to pass first by Saturn and then by Jupiter as it shifts away from the horizon, visible each evening low in the west-southwest and setting before evening twilight ends,” NASA wrote on its website.

Food boxes with seven days of meals will be available on Dec. 18 and 28
4J students will continue to have access to nutritious food at no cost during winter break.

On Friday, Dec. 18, the last school day before winter break, families can pick up a free youth food box along with the daily meal. The food box provides an additional seven days of breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. Free youth meal boxes will be distributed at the 10 serving sites (list of sites) during the normal pickup hours, 10:45 a.m.—2 p.m. Families receiving meals via delivery will receive their youth food boxes on Friday. The meal boxes include breakfast bread (such as banana or blueberry), sandwich fixings (loaf of bread, meat, cheese, hummus), frozen entrees for dinner, and lots of vegetables, fruit, milk and other items. Vegetarian and made-without-gluten options are available.

Then, on Monday, Dec. 28, families can pick up another week of free youth meals behind the 4J Education Center, 200 N. Monroe St., from 11 a.m.–5:30 p.m. while supplies last. The boxes can only be picked up at this location; there will be no deliveries.

When school resumes online on January 5, meals will again be delivered and available at the 10 sites across the district each school day from 10:45 a.m.–2 p.m. A dinner meal will be added to the ongoing breakfast and lunch provided each day, and extra meals for the weekend will be provided on Fridays.
