Kids learn about appropriate verbal and physical communication from watching you. But online conversations can be invisible. Occasionally, narrate as you're writing texts or social media comments when your kids are in earshot.

Olympia Middle School students got a special surprise this morning as they arrived for their last day of school before Thanksgiving break! Sparty the Spartan, Olympia's beloved mascot, was on hand to greet students with high-fives, smiles, and plenty of Spartan spirit.
Sparty's positive energy and enthusiasm brought smiles to everyone's faces and created a sense of community and excitement for the upcoming holiday.
Sparty's appearance was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season and spread some extra cheer throughout the halls of Olympia Middle School. A big thank you to Sparty for making this a Thanksgiving to remember!
Go Spartans!
