⚠️ Important Safety Message for Families
We want to make families aware of a dangerous trend called the “Space Monkey Challenge” that has recently surfaced among students in some schools. This challenge involves restricting oxygen to the brain to experience a brief “high,” which is extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury or even death.
Our school is taking this matter very seriously. We are increasing supervision throughout the building and reminding students about the importance of making safe, healthy choices.
We ask families to talk with their children about the risks of this challenge and encourage open communication about peer pressure and internet trends.
Student safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your continued partnership in keeping our students safe and informed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school office.
