Whether they're texting with their study group, flirting on social media, or voice-chatting on game platforms, middle and high schoolers can learn to communicate in safe and healthy ways. These skills will help kids -- and the people they're communicating with -- have positive experiences online. - Give them the right words. - Learn about their worlds. - Empathize with the pressure to overshare. - Develop their instincts.

Congrats to the Spartan tracksters that had a successful day at the IL Top Times Meet today! Starting the day off was Owen Dare securing a 6th place medal in the 800 with a season best 2:02.32. Owen was seeded #7 going into the race. Next, Brad Schardan, seeded 22nd in the 400, dropped a full second for a season best time of 53.16 and placed 12th. Rounding out the day, Owen and Brad joined Keagan Uphoff and Cohen Alexander in the 1600 relay to place 11th. Great day guys! This meet concludes the 2022 indoor season and the outdoor track season kicks off 1 week from today at the Greenville Invitational.
