Mr. Richard Guerry of IROC2 shared essentials of his book "Permanent and Public" with FKS 4th & 5th graders to make students mindful of protecting themselves from making life altering mistakes online or with any digital technology as citizens of a rapidly evolving digital village. Students were encouraged to keep their risks lows, be their best selves online, and create a history of themselves online that their children one day would be proud of. Their mindfulness online will make all of the difference.

FKS third, fourth, and fifth graders were fortunate to have the experience of seeing the Young Audiences production of "A Seat for Rosa" this morning, provided by our generous and hard working PTA. Students learned of the story of Rosa Parks and having the courage to be an upstander. It was a wonderful production with a timeless message told in an engaging story.
