| We are excited to implement our Collier Connect one-to-one device initiative for the 2020-2021 school year. CCPS will provide a device to each student in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Students in grades 1 through 12 will receive a laptop, while pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students will receive an iPad. School principals will be sending communication regarding device pick-up dates prior to school starting. |

| Have a great last few weeks of summer and we look forward to seeing our students for the new school year! |

| COMMUNITY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT |
| |
 |
| |
| The Naples Therapeutic Riding Center (NTRC) was founded as the Naples Equestrian Challenge over a decade ago to improve the lives of children and adults with physical, social, and mental health needs through therapeutic riding and other equine-related programs. Each year, NTRC delivers safe and effective equine-assisted therapeutic programs for nearly 800 individuals with special needs. The use of working horses can have a major physical and emotional impact on people. Horses do not judge, offering people the safe environment needed to overcome fear, anxiety, and self-doubt. Horses are honest and mirror exactly what human body language is telling them. If you are impatient, the horse becomes impatient. It is this connection that provides us lessons about ourselves, teaching us self-awareness, healthy boundaries, leadership, patience, and trust. These skills help cultivate the adaptability and resiliency needed to cope with the magnified stressors caused by the pandemic. Like every other business/organization, NTRC has been impacted by COVID-19, but they are still providing programs. They have week-long summer camps, equine-facilitated psychotherapy, and therapeutic riding all outdoors with social distancing. |
