Scholarship Opportunity

This scholarship is offered in the memory of Miles Jeffrey Roberts who died by suicide on May 29, 2017. Miles leaves behind a legacy of putting others’ needs before his own. He was a kind and loving friend that was always available to listen or provide a comforting hug. Suicide remains an epidemic and rates among youth continue to rise in our country, in our State and in our County. In 2017, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported 6,252 deaths by suicide in the United States for people ages 15 to 24, making it the second leading cause of death for this age group. Miles was one of these deaths. Miles’s desire to help others will be memorialized through the recipients of this scholarship. This scholarship is offered by the Miles Jeffrey Roberts Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Spring Break Travel Recommendations (The safest thing to do is stay home for spring break.)

Domestic Travel: 

• It’s safest to be with members of your own family only. Masks, distancing, & hand hygiene around others.
• Check out the CDC Travel Planner for local requirements & resources.
• Pre-travel: CDC recommends testing
• Post travel: testing and quarantine is recommended but not required. We encourage testing.

International Travel:

The CDC now requires proof of a negative COVID-19 test before boarding a flight to the U.S. 

Washtenaw County Health Department’s Advisory to Schools (March 2):

• Students or staff traveling internationally to most destinations should self-quarantine for 10 days after returning to the U.S. and may not attend in-person school.

CDC recommends getting a PCR test 3-5 days after arriving home. A negative result does not shorten quarantine. We encourage testing.

Congratulations
