Did You Know That...
- We had a blast watching our 6th grade students play in the Turkey Bowl last Tuesday. A huge shout-out to Layton High School's football coaches and players. They made it so fun for our students!
- Our 5th graders made a great showing with their balloon parade last Tuesday. We have a lot of creative students!

Dear Parents,
As we approach the holiday season and the end of the calendar year, we wanted to bring to your attention a crucial and timely topic that directly concerns the well-being of our children – “Talking with Your Child about Pornography”.
In today's digital age, the prevalence of explicit content is a reality that cannot be ignored. Shockingly, studies show that at least 90% of children will be exposed to pornography at some point, and an alarming 10% admit to daily viewing. Equally concerning is that the average age of first exposure is just 11 years old.
To address this pressing issue, we are offering a parent series session on December 13th from 6:30-7:30 via Zoom. Key topics that will be covered during the session include:
- Seek Understanding
- Getting comfortable with the Uncomfortable
- What NOT to say or Do
We understand that discussing pornography with your child may be a difficult and uncomfortable task, but it is an essential conversation to have. We encourage you to attend this informative session and join us in taking a proactive stance in safeguarding our children's well-being.
