Help Shape Our Summer Meal Program: Please Share You...

We're currently planning Summer Meal operations for MON-THURS, June 23 - August 21  and we're excited to better understand what matters most to the families we serve. ODE Child Nutrition Programs has created a simple, user-friendly form to collect your preferences and priorities regarding summer meals. By taking a few minutes to share your input, you'll help us make more informed decisions about how we design our summer meal programs to meet your actual needs. Summer Meals in Rural Area Access Form Your responses will be confidential, and the compiled data will be considered as we develop our summer meal plans. Thank you for helping us better serve you and your family! * The Summer Meals Program is community-based, providing free lunches to ALL children 18 and younger. We've traditionally set up several summer camps and public sites around Redmond (parks, library, swim center, schools, churches) and children have been required to consume their meals on-site. This year, we may have an opportunity to allow children to grab & go with their meal. Your feedback and participation are valuable to make sure we understand how and where we can reach the most families. Look for a Summer Meals announcement of locations and times closer to the end of the school year once our plan is approved by ODE. [Friday, Apr 18 at 3:48 PM] Thank you everyone,! We had over 200 responses and our SFSP applications have been submitted to the State for approval for operating MON-THURS, June 23 to AUG 21. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity for home delivery of Summer Meals, but we are asking for approval to expand out to Terrebonne and allow grab & go (non-congregate) service wherever allowable. Stay tuned for details about our Summer Meal Program as the end of the school year winds down. Without our community's participation in the program, it cannot be financially viable for us.

Matthew Nonato, a dedicated and skilled welding student, recently took home the top prize at The Project MFG Welding Wars held at the College of Southern Idaho. This win is no small feat. Project MFG competitions test advanced technical skills through intense, hands-on challenges, pushing students to showcase their precision, problem-solving abilities, and craftsmanship. Matthew’s outstanding performance earned him an automatic spot in the prestigious Project MFG Welding League National Finals in Michigan this June, where he will compete against the best young welders in the country. Matthew’s success highlights the strength of Redmond High School’s CTE programs, which provide students with real-world skills and pathways to high-demand careers.

We are proud to see Redmond students rising to the challenge and making their mark on the national stage. Congratulations to Matthew on this incredible accomplishment. We’ll be cheering you on at the National Finals. Redmond High School Junior Aiden Carpenter Advances to Project MFG Finals Redmond High School junior Aiden Carpenter is making waves in the world of advanced manufacturing! Aiden has secured a spot in the final round of Project MFG, a prestigious competition put on by the Department of Defense to showcase high-level machining skills. As one of the top 16 competitors in the country, Aiden will be heading to Southwest Illinois College (SWIC) at the end of March to compete for cash prizes and national recognition. Aiden last month entered Project MFG’s National Machining League, a high school-level individual competition focused on CNC machining. In the qualifying round, he was tasked with machining four aluminum parts and mailing them to judges for evaluation. His skill and precision earned him a place in the finals. Reflecting on his journey, Aiden shared: “I have competed in machining competitions before, but this is the first year this competition specifically is being held. At its most basic, this opportunity is just an accomplishment to put on my resume, but the value that this has to an employer in modern industry is priceless.” Beyond the personal achievement, Aiden sees this as a way to highlight the importance of CTE programs and the impact they have on students’ futures. He credits Dan Kernion, Manufacturing/ Engineering Technology Instructor at Redmond High, for being a pivotal mentor in his journey: “Not to mention the school pride in helping our CTE program grow, but also to show others why programs like ours are so important and why mentors like Dan Kernion can have such a profound impact on our next generation. Without Kernion, I doubt I would even know what machining is. Not to mention he hasn’t just taught me how to have a successful career but also how to be a better person. I couldn’t be more thankful to have someone who is so willing to give so much time and energy into making others’ lives better.” Aiden will represent Redmond High School and the entire Redmond community at the national finals, competing against the best machining students in the country.   M.A. Lynch 4th Graders Make a Difference with Community Partnership At M.A. Lynch Elementary, fourth-grade students in Natani Chick’s class have been hard at work, not just in the classroom but in their community. With the support of Redmond Kiwanis, these young changemakers created and donated tie blankets to Bethlehem Inn, a shelter serving those in need. This project is part of a larger effort to foster meaningful, project-based learning experiences that connect students with their community. “As a new teacher in the Redmond School District, I was eager to connect my students with their classroom, school, and city community through meaningful, project-based learning,” Chick shared. “With the passionate support of Kiwanis, our journey began in September when they shared the importance of community partnerships, sparking our first driving question.” That question—how can we make a positive impact?—led to an inspiring series of student-led projects. In addition to making tie blankets, Chick’s students hosted a kindness-based hot cocoa stand, supported Kiwanis’ food drive, created staff appreciation gifts, and organized a clothing swap. “The learning has been rich and impactful, and the best part is hearing my students proudly recognize that they are already making the world a better place,” Chick said. This project was made possible through the generosity and support of Redmond Kiwanis, whose commitment to service continues to inspire young learners. By working together, these students are not only gaining valuable skills but also discovering the power of kindness and collaboration.   Changes Coming to Redmond’s School Zone Speed Limits Here’s What You Need to Know When everyone returns from spring break, they will notice updates to school zone speed limit signs around town. When students return from spring break, you’ll notice some changes to school zone speed limit signs around town. City of Redmond Public Works crews are rolling out these changes now. What’s Changing? The new school zone signs will still require drivers to slow down to 20 MPH—but only when the signs are flashing. Instead of the current static signs, the updated versions will clearly read: “SCHOOL, SPEED LIMIT 20 When Flashing.” Why the Change? Last October, the City of Redmond’s Traffic Safety Working Group, in collaboration with the Redmond School District, asked the community for feedback on school zone signage. The response was overwhelming—94% of respondents supported switching to “When Flashing” signs. Where Will You See These New Signs? A total of 18 school zone speed limit signs are being replaced, specifically in areas where roads are normally 35 MPH or are busy arterial and collector streets. These locations were chosen to enhance safety in high-traffic areas near schools. How Do These New Signs Work? Large flashing amber lights will indicate when the 20 MPH school zone speed limit is active. The school zone speed limit will only apply during arrival, lunch (high school only), and departure times for each school. Each sign will also feature a radar-enabled driver feedback display that shows drivers how fast they’re going as they enter the school zone. These displays will only be active when the school zone signs are flashing. Safety First Redmond Police Department will continue prioritizing school zone safety, increasing enforcement of speeding and distracted driving violations when the signs are flashing. If the lights are on, expect officers to be watching. How Was This Project Funded? This project was made possible through grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration via the Oregon Department of Transportation Transportation Safety Office. So, as you’re driving around Redmond after spring break, keep an eye out for these new flashing school zone signs.   Bringing Big Ideas to Life in Ridgeview’s Design Technology Classroom Step inside Cory O’Neill’s Design Technology classroom at Ridgeview High School, where creativity meets craftsmanship. This CTE program provides students with hands-on experience in design, engineering, and fabrication, turning their innovative ideas into real-world creations. Students in Mr. O’Neill’s class don’t just learn about design. They actively build, test, and refine their projects using cutting-edge tools and techniques. Whether it’s 3D printing, woodworking, or digital modeling, this program empowers students to develop critical problem-solving skills and technical expertise. Junior Shayanne Akenga explains how the program has given her the confidence to take on complex projects and think outside the box.
