Waldwick Parent Academy - Twitter Workshop

The Waldwick School District is excited to introduce the first workshop from the Waldwick Parent Academy. This year we will be offering three different workshops on technology. The first workshop will revolve around Twitter, and will be offered twice on Wednesday, January 23rd. The first at 8:30am, and the second offering will be at 6:30pm. Mr. Carroll, Ms. Hummel, and Mr. Sussman will discuss how to create an account on Twitter, how to use this application, and how we are safely and successfully integrating Twitter into our schools. Participants will gain an understanding of how to connect with other users around the globe, as well as building their own Person Learning Network. Hope to see you there.

The SportsKids of the Year

I found this "feel good" video on Facebook today. It's a heart-warming story about two brothers, and I recommend sharing it with the family. Often times we find our children looking up to their favorite athletes as role models. As this video shows, true role models can be every day citizens, no matter how young.
