Students and staff from OCDE’s Inside the Outdo Students and staff from OCDE’s Inside the Outdoors environmental education program honored Martin Luther King Jr. Day by helping clean their community. Over the MLK holiday earlier this month, more than 160 volunteers from local schools and representatives from 13 regional businesses joined the Inside the Outdoors Foundation to restore a native habitat at the OC Parks’ Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve.

Items included couch cushion, bike tire, 23 tennis balls, basketballs, handballs, golf balls, shoes, gym bags, trunk liner, lumber, and bags full of plastics such as straws, bottle caps, and drink bottles. #kindness1billion @insidetheoutdoors
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that c Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause respiratory illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as MERS. A novel coronavirus — often shown as “nCoV” — is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. The Orange County Health Care Agency says the risk for school children in Orange County is minimal. To date, the illness has primarily affected adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated each year, but the CDC also recommends taking other daily precautions. We've compiled a list of five tips to help everyone avoid getting sick during this cold and flue season. Check them out at Newsroom.ocde.us #Coronaviruses #healthyhabits
