ven in our current distance learning environment, CJUSD elementary students are gaining important social skills like empathy, compassion, inclusion and thoughtfulness.
It’s all part of Kindness Clubs, now offered at Cooley Ranch and Sycamore Hills Elementary Schools. Similar clubs also are being planned at other CJUSD campuses. The clubs offer stu-
dents of all ages a chance to interact (virtually) with their peers while learning ways to be kind and considerate. The clubs offer students a safe space to express feelings and learn from one another.

ith the COVID-19 restrictions getting in the way of how they normally do business, the City of
Colton community centers put out a call to the public for help in providing local families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner to-go style.
The Royal Gents Association decided to answer that call big time and came through with a donation of $665 towards the cause. Community Liaison Cynthia Rosales said this was the
first time in 2020 that the group had been able to mobilize the members to make such an impact for the citizens of Colton. Gents, cont. on next pg.
