Staying Connected with YOU!

Hello!
It's hard to believe we are almost at the end of April. I hope you have enjoyed your classes and students this spring. People come and go, but their memories live on forever. Many students look to their professors and counselor as role models. I want to say 'thank you' to all of you for being that role model. We teach with subject matters, but we also inspire for growth and excellence.
We have a new workshop for Student Loan Forgiveness. Be sure to sign up ... it's just around the corner.
Visit our Website (under construction), but revived ... www.Coastcca.org

STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS WORKSHOP
April 26, 2023
|
|
|
|
NEA is continuing to work to ensure all NEA members and educators have access to the student debt relief they deserve.
Last year we made major strides, with more than 453,000 educators (K-12 and higher ed!) and public service workers receiving $31 billion in student loan forgiveness through the Limited Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Waiver. Now we need your help to keep the momentum going!
The Biden Administration just extended its account adjustment initiative, which gives eligible workers more time to either receive PSLF under expanded criteria, or make significant progress towards achieving forgiveness.
During the call NEA’s student debt experts will share the latest updates on the PSLF program, as well as other opportunities for cancellation, and the most recent news around President Biden’s cancellation plan.

Couve à Mineira - Brazilian Collard Greens
Collard greens are tough but can be prepared without prolonged poaching!
You will need
- 1 bunch of collard greens
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt to taste
- Wash the collard greens thoroughly and remove the tough stems using a "V" shaped cut.
- Stack several leaves on top of each other and roll them tightly into a cylinder. Cut the cylinder crosswise into as thin of strips as you can.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the collard greens and stir to coat them with the oil and garlic. Season with salt to taste.
- Cook the collard greens over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still retain some texture.
You can serve the collard greens as a side dish or as an accompaniment to traditional Brazilian dishes like Feijoada - black bean stew.

April: The Month of Blossoming
The name "April" comes from the Latin word "aperire," which means "to open." This refers to the opening of the buds and flowers in spring, which typically occurs during this month. In the Northern Hemisphere, April marks the beginning of the spring season, a time when the weather warms up, the days become longer, and nature begins to come back to life. The trees start to grow new leaves, and flowers such as poppies, lilies, and orange blossoms bloom in abundance, adding color and vibrancy to the landscape. With all of the rain in our region this year, you may being seeing a surge of blooms. Take time to enjoy these openings and celebrate the season!
