Internet Safety Highly Recommended by Dr. Joyner
and it is FREE to the Public
Over 95% of teens use social networking
ˇ Last year over 500,000 kids had their online identity stolen
ˇ 85% of teens have been cyber bullied at least once
ˇ Sexting: 71% of teen girls and 67% of teen boys have participated in posting/sending sexually suggestive content.
These are only a few reasons why Dr. Joyner stresses the importance of registering for the Community Empowerment Series final event featuring Cyber Expert, Theresa Payton. Circle the date, Saturday, April 27th at Nease High School, doors open at 9:00am. You can't afford to miss this opportunity to learn from one of the country's leading experts regarding Internet Safety and Security. Payton was the Chief Information Officer (CIO) in the White House, the only female to hold that position, and is listed as the top 25 most influential people for online security.
She will be discussing cyber bullying, online identity theft, cell phone safety and other areas of cyber safety. From teachers, to guidance counselors, to parents and especially students, this event should be mandatory. Sure, some proms are in the evening, but before your kids go to prom and start posting those pictures to their Facebook and Instagram profiles, shouldn't they find out the consequences first? There will be plenty of time to get ready for prom and these few hours in the morning of an education of their digital future will actually provide them with the tools to insure their digital footprint for a bright future.

Introducing TeenzArt Workshops by KidzArt
Our art-enriched classes are full of challenging design projects and fun surprises intended to motivate students at this age level and to push their creative potential to the max.

In these 1-2 hour TeenzArt workshops, we will explore many different types of media including watercolors, pastels, collage, acrylic painting, metal tooling, and more! Famous artists, cultural history, art history, and different artistic styles are studied and practiced. Sign up for one workshop, or sign up for them all...you choose! Classes are held at the River of Life United Methodist Church at 2600 Race Track Road Jacksonville, FL 32259 (just South of Julington Creek Elem) every other Friday night.
