An amazing day for our brilliant and talented LIA students!

Today our students heard a relevant and powerful message during our think About It Thursdays announcement. Since this advice is good for all, we'd like to share, so you and your child can discuss the importance of personal privacy. 
💛
Your Life Isn’t Meant for Everyone
We live in a world where it feels normal to share everything — what we’re doing, who we’re with, how we feel, what happened at lunch, what someone said, screenshots, snaps, posts.
But here’s something important to remember:
Not everything needs an audience.
Your thoughts, your friendships, your struggles, your wins — they don’t all belong on social media. Some things are meant to be private. And choosing privacy doesn’t mean you’re hiding something. It means you respect yourself.
Before you post or send something, ask yourself:
• Would I be okay with a teacher or family member seeing this?
• Would I want this shared about me?
• Am I posting because I want attention… or because it really matters?
• Will this still feel okay a week from now?
Social media can make it feel like if you don’t share it, it didn’t happen.
But real life doesn’t need proof.
Private moments are powerful.
Real friendships don’t need constant updates.
And your value isn’t measured by views, likes, or reactions.
You get to decide what stays yours.
Protect your peace.
Protect your friendships.
Protect your story.
💛 Take your privacy seriously — because once something is shared online, it’s no longer fully in your control.
Be thoughtful. Be kind. Be wise.n

Today Horizon students and staff had the privilege of attending an assembly in honor of Treaty Day. Our Lummi and other Native students performed their traditional songs and dances passed down from the Elders. Thank you to the Ferndale High School Lummi Language class/Cheskwin club as well as our HMS Kwechost club.
