The Student Senate would like to share some reminders this month about being smart, alert, strong, kind and brave while using social media and the internet. 

When in Doubt, Talk it Out (Read by Zoey P and Mabel O)

It is important to understand that you’re not on your own when you see inappropriate content or behavior that makes you feel uncomfortable online - especially if it is hurtful to you or someone that you care about. 

You should never hesitate to get help from a trusted adult or family member. It is also a good idea to learn about how to talk things out off-line and how to use online reporting tools.

Please communicate with Mrs. Luna or Mrs. Hoffman at the front office desk before heading to the health room. If it’s after 9:45am, please use the Student Services door which is closest to the cafeteria and check in with Mrs. Rogers.  

KM Lacrosse is holding their annual Lax Blast Fundraiser on March 16th. It’s our largest fundraiser and benefits all lacrosse players youth through high school, both boys and girls.

In addition, funds raised go towards maintenance, goals, balls and other equipment, to name a few.

Join the fun! Meet other club parents and show your support so we can continue to benefit the boys and girls of KM Lacrosse now and in the future. Get your tickets now and/or consider becoming a sponsor: kmlacrosse.com/lax-blast
