Online social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and others have made it easy to connect to others, but it has also opened a window of opportunity for some with less-innocent intentions.
That’s one reason Louisburg Middle School principal Brian Biermann brought in a small not-for-profit group to talk to his students and their parents about safety on the Internet.
The group is called NetSmartz, which is sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence.

For teachers, KFAC will award the Janet Sims Memorial Teacher of the Year (TOY) award, which recognizes a teacher for his or her efforts to incorporate agriculture into the classroom. Any district-certified Kansas teacher currently engaged in integrating agricultural concepts into non-vocational agriculture classroom settings at the K-12 grade levels is encouraged to apply, according to a news release.

Broadmoor Elementary School fifth-graders had a day in the sun last week as part of their awards ceremony. 
They were seen tromping down the street in a huge line as they walked from the school to City Park to receive recognition from teachers and Principal Chris McLean for their accomplishments throughout the school year.
The park was filled with parents, grandparents and siblings as fifth-graders were led to the stage by classes, smiling and eager to accept their honors and then partake of pizza after the ceremony.
McLean said he was proud of this year’s class and has no doubt they will all do well in sixth grade.
“This is one of the top classes I’ve ever been around,” he told the audience. “They set a great example for others and have great leadership skills.”
McLean went on to say he has worked with third-, fourth- and fifth-graders for 11 years, but he bragged about this year’s fifth-grade class.
