TikTok Challenges/ Digital Footprints
In the last few weeks, I've shared two Tick Tok Challenges (Devious Licks & Challenge of the month) that attempt to persuade students into participating in destructive (and illegal) activities. If you have not heard of these trends, review the photo at right and link below showing how these have spread across the nation/media outlets.
- The picture at right is what has been sent around to warn school staff and authorities of the Challenge. (* Warning- this image is graphic and details inappropriate actions.)

Continue to have conversations with your students about the lasting implications of contributing to a negative digital footprint. Everything you do online and especially on social media - can be traced, saved, and have a good or bad implication into who you are as an individual. Let's teach our Grizzlies about paving a positive digital foundation- one that they are proud of when beginning to search for colleges or jobs in their not-so-distant future.

#Grizzly Values Challenges
Students who have been making right choices and displaying #GrizzlyValues, will be randomly selected to have Patio Lunch for the entire week. Each week I will select a new list of students to sit outside, on our patio during lunch.
Finally, our Student of the Month is back! September Students of the Month will be announced this week.
