Last weekend, the Ramirez family home burned down, in the Beachwood area.
As soon as the staff at Stefani Elementary heard the news, they knew they had to do something.
Yadida and Valeria Ramirez both go to Stefani Elementary, and their little brother Benjamin goes to nearby Franklin Elementary.
With the help of parents, the staff at Stefani has raised more than $1,400 to help the family get back on their feet.
Merced City School District Associate Superintendent Doug Collins, Principal Rick Her, Learning Director Juanita Pedrozo, teachers Robert Beltz, Tom Fullerton, Kai Her, and Merced City Teachers Association President Gary Arzamendi, presented the very grateful family with the money on Friday.
MCTA donated three new bicycles and helmets, one for each child.
MCSD thanks each and every person who donated, in an incredible act of kindness, which just so happens to come as we wrap up the Great Kindness Challenge.
Students across MCSD have been learning to be kind to others all week long.

Morning with Mom

Morning with momMoms arrive to Fremont.

Fremont Elementary School is celebrating moms. 
310 mothers and community members took part in the first ever Morning with Mom event on campus Friday, January 31.
Many mothers were able to see what their child's day is like while they are at school.
"You get that quality time with them outside of your home," Marilu Valencia said while visiting with her child.
They interacted with students and helped them with an arts and crafts project.
"These students are going to leave today and remember this event forever so that makes it a pretty special day for us, " Principal Dawn Hubble said.
"It sends a very strong message to the kids, our students, and it's just all the encouragement that they need and help them be supported in their education and so it's just, it's wonderful to see," MCSD Board Member and mother of three Fremont students said.
California Highway Patrol officers also attended, to "Kind of give them a good role model and that way the kids kind of see you know, that the law enforcement community is basically out here to support them," Officer Eric Zuniga said.
In October, Fremont's staff organized a similar event, aimed at including dad's and other male role models, called Eat and Run with Dad.

Clean air makes stars sparkle
Air quality is closely monitored at all schools within Merced City School District, to protect the health of all students and staff, on a daily basis.
MCSD relies on the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to provide the air quality forecast. 
To help get the word out, the agency provides a calendar, which is illustrated by students.
The 2020 Healthy Air Living Kids' Calendar includes artwork by a student at Margaret Sheehy Elementary School.
Logan McDaniel is a third grader in Ms. Garcia's class.
They observe the air quality each day.
It is part of the science curriculum. 
McDaniel is the artist whose work is featured during the month of May.
His illustration includes a bicycle, under a smiling sun, and blue skies.
The caption reads: "You should ride a bike."
On Monday, January 27, McDaniel and his classmates were paid a visit by a representative from the air district, in their classroom.
The rep presented McDaniel with his own copy of the calendar, a t-shirt, a frisbee, and more swag, for his help in promoting healthy air quality.
