CBNA FCCLA Press Release Image

CBNA FCCLA President Nicole Hodgdon; Sandy Priolo, of the Northwood Fire Dept. Santa’s Helpers; and Jolene Levesque, FCCLA Vice-President fill stockings for local community members during the holidays.

During the month of December Coe-Brown’s chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), was very busy trying to give everyone a little bit of holiday cheer. To start, senior Lexi Arsenault, took the initiative and put together a Parents’ Night Out. This event was very helpful for parents, especially during the holiday season but it was also a great chance for parents to take a relaxing night out together. Lexi and everyone in FCCLA want to thank Cowabunga’s in Hooksett for letting the children and the FCCLA members use the facility. The FCCLA chapter also wants to thank Hannaford’s in Northwood for the donations of snacks for this amazing event. This was a great night for everyone!

CBNA FCCLA members were also involved with Santa’s Helpers for the town of Northwood this year. FCCLA teamed up with the Northwood Fire Department to put together stockings for less fortunate children in the community. Thanks go to Northwood Hannaford’s and Meyer Dentistry for their amazing donations and for being so supportive to this community endeavor. CBNA FCCLA would also like to thank Mrs. Priolo for providing us the opportunity to help local families in need.

Finally, FCCLA would also like to thank anyone that gives a donation to any type of cause. The size of the donation doesn’t matter, but the impact you’ll have on someone’s life will matter! Our chapter believes in the importance of strong families and strives to help our school and community in various ways throughout the year, because together we will make a difference! Be sure to watch for upcoming events as we are planning another Parents’ Night Out at CBNA in February! Feel free to contact Mandy Morales, FCCLA advisor at amorales@coebrown.org for more information or any needs in the community.

/in , /by

SAU #44 welcomes Katie LeClerc Greer to present Internet Safety and Digital Responsibility for Students in Grades 6-8 and 9-12: Understanding Your Digital Footprint

January 21, 2016

CBNA: 8:00-8:50
Strafford School (Gr. 6-8): 10:50-11:40
Nottingham School (Gr. 6-8): 9:20-10:10
Northwood School (Gr. 6-8):  1:35-2:20

The majority of kids in grades 6 and beyond have social networking accounts and are actively networking with others using various forms of technology (i.e. apps, messaging, etc.). At this stage, it’s imperative for them to know that there are consequences for their actions, as once they send, save or share, their information is out there – and stays out there – forever.   The following is an example of what is covered during this session:

  • What is personal information? What are privacy settings?
  • Social Networking including current trends
  • Interactive gaming rules and thoughts
  • Texting/smartphone usage including app trends, appropriateness and  tracking
  • Technology tattoos and creating a favorable, positive online brand
  • Cyberbullying

PARENTS/GUARDIANS:  We have included something special for you that you will not want to miss!  Join us at Nottingham School for a compelling, informational evening Parent Program  (*must be 18 years or older to attend)

January 21, 2016, 6:30pm-8:00pm

  • FREE RAFFLE PRIZE TICKET just for attending will be given to every parent at the evening event for a chance to win gift cards and technology related prizes!
  • FREE CHILDCARE will be provided that will include movies and crafts!
  • 6:00-6:30pm there will be coffee and snacks prior to the Parent Presentation!

Our kids are doing WHAT? What can I do to protect them? What apps should I be worried about? Is social networking safe? Is my child being cyberbullied? What’s texting? Sexting? What’s next? It’s often overwhelming being a parent today in our technology-driven society. Keeping up with the latest trends and dangers can often seem like an impossible task. Katie will help you navigate the digital waters and let you know what’s new, what’s now, and what’s next when it comes to your children and technology, and provides parents with proactive initiatives to keep kids safe.
