Peebles Elementary School

Today, our 6th grade Mission Middle School class had a special visit from Adams County Prosecutor’s Office Investigator Chelsea Phelps. She shared some eye-opening information about online safety and the realities young people face today. Students learned the importance of protecting their privacy—never letting others know when they’re home alone, avoiding posting their location in real time, and remembering that people online aren’t always who they say they are. She also spoke about cyberbullying and encouraged students to think carefully before sending or posting anything. We’d also like to give a shoutout to Radah Curtis from Juvenile Court, who visited last week to talk with students about the serious ramifications of vaping and the importance of staying drug-free. We truly appreciate our partnership with caring professionals from the courthouse who take the time to invest in our students, helping them stay safe and make wise choices for their future.
