Many thanks to Mrs. Smith, LVMS JHS Advisor, and Mrs. Conklin, FKS Media Specialist, for their efforts to make this special afternoon possible. Monday was also Wear Red and/or Blue Day.

Students were encouraged to keep their risks lows, be their best selves online, and create a history of themselves online that their children one day would be proud of. Their mindfulness online will make all of the difference.
