So what is Snapchat? Snapchat is an app that allows students to share “snaps" of everyday moments that are meant to disappear after being viewed. It contains filters that help make your photos more fun. Don't be misled, this fun app can pose risk. Snaps may disappear after 10 seconds, but that doesn't prevent someone from taking a screenshot. As with any social media, people need to be careful about what they share. Posting photos that disappear right away, may seem harmless at first but once something has been shared you no longer are in control of it. You may hear your teen talking about streaks, filters, or Snapcodes. These are all features of Snapchat. Many teens will exchange snaps back and forth with a friend to build a streak. Even FRH teens has reported sharing their password with a friend to have them help continue their streak. Read more about Snapchat and how teens interact with it.

Animal Rescue Donations
“Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give.”
Starting this week and continuing until Christmas break, the Haythorne Animal Rescue Crew will be collecting food and supplies for animals in need. If you are able to donate just place the item under one of the pet themed Christmas trees in the front foyer. Check out the Wish Lists located in the same area for donation ideas. All items collected will be donated to various Animal Rescue Organizations around the Sherwood Park and Edmonton area. New and used blankets are also being collected. These are donated to dogs in some of the northern Alberta pounds awaiting rescue. With the donation of a blanket they do not have to sleep directly on a cold concrete floor. Any donations are appreciated!
