Do your kids love video games? While gaming can be fun and social, it also comes with risks. Parental involvement is key! Here are 5 questions to ask your child: 1️⃣ Can you show me how to play your favorite game? 2️⃣ How do you handle it if someone bothers you while gaming? 3️⃣ What do you share about yourself online? 4️⃣ Who are you gaming with? 5️⃣ Do you feel safe while gaming?

At our Arrow Education School, Tangram, we strive to create innovative and engaging ways for children to learn while exploring new concepts. Science, a student favorite, took center stage this week as they discovered how fire reacts to losing oxygen. Using a candle, a jar, and red-colored water, students observed how removing oxygen extinguished the flame and created a suction effect that pulled water into the jar. A hands-on approach to understanding the fascinating principles of pressure and combustion! 🧪✨

Human trafficking can happen to anyone—regardless of age, gender, race, or background. Traffickers prey on vulnerabilities like poverty, homelessness, and lack of support. While children and marginalized individuals are at higher risk, no one is immune. Let’s stay vigilant and raise awareness to fight this hidden crime. 💙 #EndHumanTrafficking #HumanTraffickingAwareness
