“The amount of time
young people spend online continues to grow, making it especially important
that conversations about social media safety are ongoing. We want to provide
parents and guardians with important information and updates about how social
media networks are used, and students with the tools and resources to stay safe
online. Additionally, in response to the rise in school shootings, a new
component of the ‘Stay Safe' event will focus on school safety and mental
health. It is sure to be an informative day and we encourage residents to join
the conversation.”

event is open to all public and private, middle and high school students, as
well as their parents/guardians. Continental breakfast and lunch will be
