Honorary Talbot DOG Contest

Does your DOG have what it takes to be the next Honorary Talbot Mascot?

Can your DOG raise the most money for charity during voting week at YOUR school?

That's right; it's not only a contest for the best DOG, but to see which SCHOOL has the best DOG!

Only the DOG with the top earnings from each of the five schools will be voted on at the Talbot Tailgate!

It's a matter of pride of course, so if you think your school is the best, get your DOG signed up and VOTE by making

a monetary donation in your favorite DOG's container during lunches Tuesday Oct 10 until Thursday Oct 12th.

The DOG with the highest earnings from each school will advance to the Talbot Tailgate on October 13th.

The voting will re-start at the tailgate. If your DOG raises the most money for charity that night, here is what

your DOG will get:

✔ Introduced during the Homecoming Game as the "2017 Honorary Talbot"!!! (Owner and DOG must be available during the game)

✔ A shiny plaque and a beautiful DOG Tag!!!

✔ A feature in the Hampton News!!!

✔ Bragging rights as Best DOG from the best SCHOOL!!!

Proceeds will be donated to Will Pilarski from Central, as he battles his brain cancer reoccurrence

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Your child is taking part in classroom lessons from Common Sense Education’s K–12 Digital Citizenship Curriculum, designed to educate and guide young people to harness the power of the Internet and digital tools so they can become safe, responsible, and respectful digital citizens.

WHAT IS DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP?

Digital media and technology is evolving at a rapid pace, bringing with it amazing opportunities as well as real risks for our children. On the positive side, young people are using the Internet and mobile technologies to create, connect, explore and learn in ways never before imagined. Challenges from harmful behaviors, cyberbullying to digital cheating, are surfacing in schools and in homes across the country. Young people face ethical challenges daily without a roadmap to guide them.

WHAT COMMON SENSE EDUCATION TEACHES

The core message of the curriculum is one of empowerment: With powerful digital tools that allow for creation and communication comes great responsibility. The curriculum centers on 8 main categories based on the digital ethics research of Dr. Howard Gardner and The GoodPlay Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

WHAT FAMILIES CAN DO

Common Sense Education takes a whole-community approach to digital citizenship by providing parent resources to help you support your kid’s learning. As we engage in these lessons in class, we will be sending home parent tip sheets, videos, and an occasional activity worksheet for you to do together with your kids. You can visit the Common Sense website at www.commonsense.org for more parent resources.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Raising and educating young people in today’s 24/7 digital media environment is one of the most exciting and overwhelming challenges that parents and schools face today. Working together with Common Sense Education, we can raise a generation of kids who become smart, responsible, and respectful digital citizens.

Sincerely,

To learn more about Common Sense Education’s tools and resources, visit www.commonsensemedia.org/educators.
