CYBER SMART WEEK
Pause before you post—your words have power, so choose kindness and positivity! Also, it is a reflection upon yourself and once it's in the digital world, it is there forever.
Think Before You Share, Protect with Care!
Talk with your child about keeping personal details like names, addresses, and passwords private to stay safe online. By sharing examples of risks like phishing and oversharing—and modeling good habits—you can help them navigate the digital world responsibly.
Congrats to the Lion's Club “Peace without Limits” Art contest winners:
Serenity (1st), Alyssa (2nd) and Griffin (3rd)
Monday means Mad for Plaid! Tomorrow, dazzle us with you Holiday Beat!
Friday was "dress as a Christmas Movie Character" and these people did not disappoint!
