Good morning, 12s.

Here's a look at what's 'out there' for today – Monday, April 13 – about your Seattle Seahawks:

A Virtual Surprise

While most students around the country are adjusting to new methods of learning, one local high school was in for a shock when they opened their computers Friday morning.

As a part of the Seahawks' Blue Friday surprise, Quandre Diggs and Michael Dickson signed in to various virtual classes hosted by Summit Sierra High School. Dickson chatted with a class of freshmen on topics ranging from his experience in school to his current routine and keeping busy among the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Diggs offered advice to a class of high school seniors, who are balancing the reality of a different ending to their high school careers.

Some students sported their Seahawks jerseys and proudly displayed their Seahawks-themed décor in the background as Diggs and Dickson logged into their classes. Told the day before that a Seahawk would be coming to connect and support them through their process of virtual learning, Summit Sierra students were excited as we helped spread a little Blue Friday cheer.

Rest In Peace

We were stunned and heartbroken to learn of the tragic passing of former quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, who passed away Sunday night. "T-Jack" earned the respect of the organization and teammates with his competitiveness, toughness and professionalism. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Tarvaris Jackson was a beloved teammate, competitor, and Seahawk. He will be deeply missed. So heartbroken by the news of his passing and sending our condolences to his family and friends. We love you forever @7tjackson
