Have a blessed long weekend. Please stay safe and healthy and we will see you all on Tuesday for our Red Dress Down Day for Pennies for Patients! Any student who donates $2 or more can wear Red on January 19.
Yours in Christ,

Open House is TONIGHT. If you can help, please come anytime between 4:45pm & 6:45pm.
Our mental health awareness initiative has shared three monthly testimonies to date. Here is where you can find them, along with other awareness content:
If you have a story you would like to share, please reach out. Word count should be around 1000 words, we prefer a photo with submission, and can walk you through using this guidance below. 
If you would prefer to share something anonymously, we can also do that. A common goal we hear is “if I can help just one person”. By sharing awareness and personal stories, we strive to end the stigma surrounding mental health in our community. Everyone has a story, what is yours?
No parking in the parking lot behind the field. There are new tenants. Tickets and towing will start immediately.

 Administration is aware of the increase in cases and are monitoring our protocols on a regular basis. At this time, we are not reversing any of our policies. However, if something changes we will reevaluate and make appropriate changes.
We have adopted the CDC recommendation to change the number of quarantined days from 14 to 10 after a direct exposure. The quarantine time will remain 10 days after a positive test. Please know these are general guidelines and each case will still be evaluated for the best course of action on an individual basis.
Have something you want to include in Gator Bites?
Please send an email with all information to gatorbites@scsgators.org.
Gator Bites comes out every Thursday via email.
