I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. Easter is a time to remember that hope is not lost. We know it has been a long, challenging year, but like the resurrection, we know there is light and hope still to come. As we continue to celebrate the Easter season, let us remember that hope is not lost. Let’s remember all those who are working hard to keep us safe and well, and pray for them daily. We should also take this time to remember the vulnerable in our society and pray that together, we can provide them with the help and support they need. We pray that everyone in our community keeps calm, stays safe and has faith that we can deal with any challenges that come our way.

Now more than ever we see kids using social media. While social media definitely can be a good thing, we have noticed that this communication can also be negative. It is important that as a school community we work together to make sure that all kids are using social media in a positive way. Parents must play an active role in monitoring social media and how to use social media wisely. Each week we want to share information with you regarding social media. This week we have a terrific website for parents to visit to get information about social media. The website is Common Sense Media.
