Escondido Education COMPACT

What do you do when it’s Spring Break and the weather is great? Go fishing of course! Today FIT took some young men of honor to Dixon Lake. They had a wonderful time despite only catching one fish.

Schools will be closed for Spring Break, but children still need the nutritious meals that schools serve. EUSD & EUHSD will be holding meal distributions during Spring Break. Very Important Resource - Please share! Las Escuelas estarán cerradas por las vacaciones de Primavera, pero los niños todavia necesitan la comida que estarán sirviendo las escuelas. Los distritos escolares EUSD Y EUHSD van a tener distribuciones de comida durante la semana de vacaciones. Un recurso muy importante! Por favor repartan la información!

Yesterday the Coalition for Drug Free Escondido had a successful Smoke Free Escondido kick off- Our Drug Free Youth Leaders & Youth Advocates were able to safely distribute education & signage to businesses in Escondido in order to help them be informed and in compliance with the Smoke & Vape free ordinance that passed on April 24th of 2020! #nonprofitorganization #coalitionfordrugfreeescondido #youth #community #drugfree#

Are you in high school or do have a high schooler in Escondido? If so, we are currently recruiting for our Drug Free Youth Leaders/Coalition! Students meet virtually on a weekly basis and learn about drug prevention, and public health and environmental policies/practices. Please contact Alicia @ [email protected] if you or someone you know is interested and would like to learn more about getting involved and being a drug free youth leader!
