White Ribbon Week Assembly

This week is our White Ribbon Week to help students focus on being internet and media safe. On Monday we had an assembly from NetSmartz at which the speaker connected the internet to fire: it can be a helpful and very good thing, but if misused, can be a dangerous and bad thing. Students are learning this week with various activities how to be wise when using the internet.
