Cookie Dough Sales Raise $11,000 for Eagle Valley Middle School
Carson City, Nev. (Nov. 9, 2020) — Eagle Valley Middle School (EVMS) went ‘dough to dough’ in the Parent Teacher Organization’s (PTO) annual cookie dough fundraiser. In total, the gross sales were equivalent to more than $15,597. The school earned about 70% of total gross sales, bringing the net total to $11,034. A total of 888 units were sold.
“We mostly wanted to thank all of the community members, parents and family members of our students for finding value in education, especially given this year’s circumstances of the pandemic,” Leah Brekken, EVMS PTO president, said. “This annual fundraiser provides an invaluable funding resource to help educate our students here in Carson City.”
The top three fundraisers from the school each earned a cash prize. Kaily Ann Lewis, a 11-year-old 6th grader, earned $100 for First Place, selling 45 units. Sydney Espinoza, a 11-year-old 6th grader, earned $75 for Second Place, selling 37 units. And Liam Marler, a 11-year-old 6th grader, earned $50 for Third Place, selling 30 units.
“Our students and our PTO members are the real super heroes in all of this,” said Lee Conley, principal for Eagle Valley Middle School. “Without their concerted efforts year-in and year-out, our school would not have near as much of what we need to educate our growing and probably our city’s most valuable population…our students.”
The money, raised for the PTA, will be used to support and enhance the students’ education through various enrichment activities throughout the year including teacher needs, snacks for after school programs and teacher appreciation week in May 2021.

Fellow Nevadan,
All across our state and nation, we are seeing the number of COVID-19 cases tick up. To slow the spread of the coronavirus and protect our communities, we each need to do our part in combatting this virus: that means washing your hands, wearing a mask, and staying at least 6 feet apart from people not in your household. And now, thanks to efforts by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, that also means downloading Nevada’s own COVID Trace app—a free app for mobile devices that will let you know if you’ve come in contact with someone who has COVID-19 so you can take action to keep you and your loved ones safe.
DOWNLOAD THE APP HERE
The COVID Trace app is a free contact tracing app that is easy to use and a quick way to know if you’ve come into contact with someone who has contracted the coronavirus. The app’s Exposure Notifications System uses Bluetooth to communicate with other mobile devices that have the app. If there’s a match, the app alerts you immediately and provides further instructions from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services. |
| The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services also knows how important protecting your privacy is—which is why the app was built to respect your privacy and give you the tools to keep your information safe. The app is opt-in, so if you change your mind at any point, you can opt-out.
Learn more about the COVID Trace app by clicking here.
Sincerely,
Catherine Cortez Masto

Covid-19 Vaccine Update
Heavy competition between vaccine manufacturers has produced what is believed to be a viable vaccine(s) against the Covid-19 and that at least two producers will have enough vaccines by the end of December to inoculate many medical workers in the U.S. as well as for the elderly and those who are immuno-compromised. Vaccinations for everyone else is estimated to be available by March or April.
