When we get news from our social media feeds, it often only tells us part of the story. Our friends -- and the website's algorithms -- tend to feed us perspectives we already agree with. Check out these ways to escape the filter bubble and make sure your ideas about the world are being challenged.

There will be a high school baseball meeting this Thursday (Feb 13th) in the auditorium at 11:15. All players who are playing this spring need to attend.
Well-crafted headlines benefit everyone. They help readers digest information and publishers sell news stories. But what if the headline is misleading? What if it's crafted just to get clicks and not to inform? "Clickbait" headlines may benefit advertisers and publishers (think $$$), but they don't benefit readers. And when they go viral, they can badly misinform the public. This week, look for clickbait headlines in the media that you consume and discuss them with your family. How many can you find before Sunday rolls around!?

If approved, by law the One-Cent Tax revenue can be used for:
🔒 School Safety and Security: Fire prevention, life safety, School Resource Officers, and Mental Health Providers.
🏫 Facility Improvements: Roof repairs, replacing doors, and completing the Ag/STEM classroom spaces, and adding a multipurpose space to the OHMS campus.
🪙 Property Tax Stability: Offset eligible expenses, and as a result, reduce the reliance on property taxes to cover these costs.
If approved, each school district decides how to allocate these funds to address the unique needs of their school community.
Learn more about how this request could benefit students, staff and our school community by attending our community information meeting on March 10th at 5:00 p.m. in the Olympia High School Media Center, visiting our webpage (www.april1cent.info), or contacting us directly!

All media comes with an author and an agenda. Help kids think critically about any media they view with critical questions that dig below the surface. And to really empower kids, have them create their own media with these same questions in mind.
