Junior Olympics - PARENTS NEEDED!

 

The Junior Olympics will be held on Saturday, April 30th at Mountain View High School.
Our 4th, 5th and 6th graders have been training hard for this event with the help and support from district P.E. specialist and parent volunteers. This event requires hundreds of volunteers to support more than twelve hundred athletes. Each family who has a student participating in the Junior Olympics is expected to volunteer at least one shift on the day of the event.  
This year, Gardner Bullis is responsible for the "chin up" event and for the food booth, as well as for its own tent so there will be plenty of opportunities to pitch in!  Please click on the link below to view the volunteer times and to sign up.
Each school is also required to provide 12 dozens individually wrapped baked goods that will be sold at the food stand and 4 back-up timers in case the electronic timing system fails (there will be a timers training session on 4/25). Sign-ups for those things are on the following link.

About CSAVE
NCSA’s Cyber Security Awareness Volunteer Education Program (C-SAVE)  was developed to encourage security professionals to put their knowledge and expertise to work in their local schools and help fill a tremendous gap in educating young people to use the Internet securely and safely. Cybersecurity professionals have the knowledge and background to young people on cybersecurity and online safety issues. By going into their local schools and classrooms they can teach children how to be safer and more secure online. In developing C-SAVE, NCSA recognized an additional opportunity to introduce young people to the possibility of cybersecurity as a profession. Volunteers are encouraged to discuss what they like about their job, the career path they have taken, and their educational background.  The materials can be found online at: http://www.staysafeonline.org/in-the-classroom/c-save

The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), a national non-profit dedicated to education and awareness, is bringing its Cyber Security Awareness Volunteer Education (C-SAVE) program to our school. On Monday, February 14, volunteers from the technology industry will talk to our 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade students about some of ways they can be safer online and how to make good decisions when it comes to sharing personal information, interacting with others and navigating the internet.
