Campbell community briefs for the week of Feb. 18
Price program tapped as exemplary
Ida Price Middle School, part of the Cambrian School District, has been named a finalist for a Glenn W. Hoffmann Exemplary Program Award from the Santa Clara County School Boards Association. Ida Price’s extensive, holistic mental health services and activities were singled out for excellence; these services are aimed at demystifying anxiety and depression and offering a safe space for students to work through mental health challenges. Named for a former county superintendent, the Glen W. Hoffmann awards were initiated in 1984 to provide recognition for successful school programs that have a significant impact on student success in Santa Clara County.
Help with homeless count

Volunteers will be asked to work in teams and walk or drive their assigned route from approximately 5-10 a.m. For health and safety reasons, team size will be limited to a maximum of four people.
