This afternoon, all OMS sixth-grade students had the privilege of attending a virtual meeting with renowned author Jerry Craft, creator of the acclaimed graphic novel New Kid. Mr. Craft shared insights into the inspiration behind his work, emphasizing the crucial role of revision and redrafting in the creative process. He generously shared early drafts of New Kid, highlighting how initial concepts evolve into polished final products. Mr. Craft encouraged students to identify and cultivate their talents, embracing mistakes as opportunities for growth. He underscored the importance of perseverance, reminding students that dedication and consistent effort are essential for achieving one's goals. Mr. Craft concluded the session by showcasing his 2020 Newbery Medal, a testament to his exceptional storytelling. This enriching experience was organized by Mrs. Melissa Swanson, OMS 6th grade ELA teacher, whose commitment to providing unique learning opportunities is deeply appreciated.

"It's complicated" can describe many of our relationships with others, both romantic and otherwise. Add digital devices and social media to the mix, and things get complicated even further.

:: Develop their instincts ::
Help kids learn to trust their guts so they can suss out creepy, risky, or unsafe online situations. Be aware that some kids (even "good" kids) will explore out of curiosity. But the minute they feel uncomfortable, they need to shut things down.

It's natural for teens to be curious about their emerging sexuality. But most children aren't prepared for the risks of exploring this in the digital age. Help your kids think critically about self-disclosure in relationships and practice how they'd respond to a situation where sexting -- or a request for sexting -- might happen.
In this video, kids can hear other teens' honest -- and sometimes frank -- thoughts about the pressures and risks that come with sexting, then consider how they might react in similar situations.
