Stefanie Thomas from SPD Speaks to 7th and 8th Grade
We were pleased to welcome Stefanie Thomas from the Seattle Police Department again to Sacred Heart School on Tuesday, October 25. Stefanie is a Victim Advocate in the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Unit. Last year she met with parents during a Parent’s Club sponsored event in March. This time around, she met with our 7th and 8th graders during an assembly in the Moore Theater and discussed internet safety, cyber-bullying, social networking and safety tips with the students. As a resource, you can go to connectsafely.org for additional safety tips and advice or you can read or print a copy of A Parent’s Guide to FaceBook. If you would like any follow-up information about this presentation please feel free to contact Julie Chandler.
