Basket Bonanza Committee Needs You!
We are once again focusing on internet safety during the first HSA meeting scheduled for
Wednesday, November 8th. Guest speaker Detective Michael Tansey will provide the very
valuable insight, coaching, and advice as he has in the past to help all families effectively,
and more importantly, utilize the internet. He will explore general internet safety, information
pertaining to online predators, and how we all can keep our children safe. Detective Tansey
is personally driven to keep children safe as he looks out for his own children and
fortunately for us, has also adopted the children of SSPJ. The evening will prove to be an
enlightened, educational experience as Detective Tansey provides tools and suggestions to
keep your children safe. Since online predators are finding new ways everyday to exploit
our children, this seminar is worthy of your attendance even if you have attended in the past.
I'M LOOKING YOU STRAIGHT IN THE EYE, RULE #2 This year in an endeavor to support better manners and mannerisms, you will find one of
Ron Clark's, "The Essential 55", rules gifted in our news letter. We will share numerous ideas that are suitable to our children. CONGRATULATE A WINNER, RULE #3
Applaud and give kudos for small and large achievements without jealousy and with a
sincere heart.
