Cancer is a deadly disease that has touched many of our lives in one way or another. As a cancer survivor myself, I can tell you that there are no words harder to hear as an individual or family member than, "you have cancer". Recently, our Olympia football family has been impacted, two of our young men within the team have lost their fathers to cancer. In honor of these individuals, we have decided to do a different type of fundraiser this year. We will be selling a 2021 Spring Season T-shirt. Individuals on our team were asked what it means to be a part of the Olympia football family. We used those words to form, "we are" on the front of the shirt, and our 2021 schedule is on the back. Two thirds of the proceeds from the sales of these shirts will go directly to the families who were affected and the other 1/3 will go to the Illinois Cancer Care. Attached is an image of the shirt. Click on the following link to order: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSdJXa2MKJiIx1.../viewform. Thank you for supporting our Spartan football families and helping us do our part in putting an end to cancer. Sincerely, Coach Lyons

Family Tip 5: Take breaks. Notice your kid getting pulled into digital drama? Help them take a break. They may determine for themselves when they need to step back, but they might need some help setting limits. Putting devices to bed at a specific time can help kids recharge.

Family Tip 4: Encourage upstanding. Let kids know that supporting someone who is being bullied can make a big difference. If they feel safe confronting the bully, they should. If not, a PM can help someone through a tough time. Speaking up against hate speech is important too!

Video: bit.ly/OlyCBV7 As humans, we thrive on social connections and group associations. But this tendency can also lead us to be suspicious of people outside our group. This fear -- xenophobia -- can be overcome by more exposure to people who are different from us. However, the internet can often make this more difficult. Help your kids recognize this challenge and find strategies for navigating content online.
