Land on Boardwalk…and treat yourself to a therapeutic massage. Advance to Reading Railroad… and take a trip to the zoo. Land on Chance. Stop on Free Parking. Even go to Jail. It’s part of the fun … in fundraising for education.

Based on the popular board game Monopoly, Peace With Christ Christian School (PWCCS) of Aurora is holding its first annual ‘Peace-opoly’ Silent Auction.

Beginning at 6 PM Friday, February 24, this casual-dress, adult-only event will be held at The Crystal Rose, located at 9755 East Hampden in Southeast Denver. Among the many companies donating items are: Elements Therapeutic Massage, Payless Shoe Source, Target, King Soopers, Biondi Diamond Jewelers, Miller Dance Studio, Red Robin and the Denver Zoo.

The event includes both silent and live auction items, dinner, a cash bar, dancing and a special Denver Bronco guest appearance. Advance ticket purchase is $30 per person or $50 per couple. At the door, tickets will be $40 per person.

All funds raised from the event will be used to directly support PWCCS in our local community. Proceeds from the auction will provide ongoing curriculum updates to enhance education at the school and help fund improvements and expansion of the campus.

PWCCS, which opened its doors in 1994, has routinely received an A+ rating and students at the school have consistently scored in the top 10-15% in the nation. The school has also been voted BEST OF THE BEST by Denver Post readers.

PWCCS is one of the few K-8 Christian schools in Colorado that includes technology, art, music, PE, and religion classes for all grades, as well as advanced math and tutoring when needed. The school also offers extracurricular activities such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, track, Student Council, Band, and Lego League, to name a few.

 Cell Phones and Your Child

_ 90% of teens in middle and high school have cell phones.

_ 60% of teens report receiving “random” text messages from someone they do not know.

_ Predators are known to send out “random” messages in hopes of getting a teen to respond and

begin more regular communications. These messages often contain an inappropriate picture.

_ 50% of teens sleep with their cell phone — they are in contact with others while parents sleep, too.

 Internet Safety Tips

_ Know the dangers associated with the sites that your children frequent.

_ Teach children the obvious rules.

_ Educate yourself to what is out there, then educate your child.

_ Install an internet filter or family safety software.

_ Manage your child’s time on the internet and cell phone.

_ Keep computers out of children’s bedrooms.

_ Video game and game sites – “Play the game, don’t give out your name”.

Officer Mumma relayed a story involving a young teen who was communicating with someone on the computer that she didn’t know. Convinced that she had not revealed any personal information, the officer began looking at previous conversations. According to the history, she had revealed her favorite sport as soccer, where and when she played in a league, her jersey number, and what kind of car her parents drove. Predators know the internet terminology well and how to get kids talking. Kids are often unaware of the dangers they may be facing. Here is some of the terminology. BAC; BEG; HTH; SOS; POS – By any chance; Big evil grin; Hope this happens; Sibling over shoulder; Parent over shoulder. Teenagers are attracted to social networking sites. They have found that parents are often shocked to find out their child

has been communicating with a sex offender. Kids are very resourceful and may find ways to access internet at their friends’ homes or schools. Today, many kids have “Smart Phones” meaning they have internet access with them wherever they go. The key to keeping kids safe is open communication and trust. The presentation was interesting and informative. The Jefferson County District Attorney began the Child Sex Offender Internet Investigations (CSOII) Unit in an effort to recognize the dangers and investigate those who would harm children. They provide safety presentations for children, schools, and parent groups.

Congratulations to the BRICKBREAKERS, PWCCS First Lego League team, on their achievement during the competition and a great year!
