TECHNOLOGY WARNING: TIKTOK SKULL-BREAKER CHALLENGE
Dangerous TikTok 'skull-breaker challenge' causes child head injuries
The general gist is they convince someone to jump in the air at the same time as them and then kick their legs out from under them so they fall and hurt themselves.

Thankfully, this has NOT happened at EV, but it is important to review with your child. Please continue to monitor your child's device usage at home, especially apps such as TikTok, SnapChat, Instagram, House Party, and YouTube.

REMINDER OWEN J. ROBERTS EDUCATION FOUNDATION
HELP THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF OJR SCHOOL DISTRICT BY NOT ATTENDING THE OJR EDUCATION FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER
OJREF Hoping to Raise Funds by Encouraging Online & Mail Donations on Leap Day
The Owen J. Roberts Education Foundation (OJREF), through donor’s generosity, is hoping to fund valuable mini-grants to impact the lives of Owen J. Roberts School District (OJRSD) students. To support OJRSD’s mission and vision, the OJREF would like you to take a non-traditional approach to giving by forgoing attending a pricey event and, instead, donating to the Foundation. Donations can be made at www.ojref.org.
Because February 29th comes around only every four years, the OJREF is using this bonus day as a reason to be EXTRA generous. The OJREF will use the generosity to provide mini-grants to the OJRSD community for technology, library materials, musical instruments, innovative educational resources and much more.
Donations can be made at www.ojref.org or mailed to OJR Education Foundation, Attn: Non-Event Fundraiser, PO Box 127, St. Peter’s, PA 19470. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact us at chutcheson@ojref.org.
The Owen J. Roberts Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3)charity that operates independently from the district and is dedicated to encouraging community-wide participation and philanthropy to support educational innovation and the Mission of the OJRSD.
