Greeting Parents,

What started out as a new hip hop dance move has radically evolved into its own culture, boasting its own music and style of dress. Do you know what this new dance craze is? Check it out on page 2!
The number one media concern for parents has shifted from Television to the Internet, with 85% of parents saying that it posed the greatest risk to their children among all forms of media. How can the families of Greenbrier Church protect their kids from the negative influences on the internet? Check out the four ways to combat expose on page 3.
Did you know what 64% of high schoolers admitted to cheating on an exam last year!!! You won’t want to miss the article on “Lying and cheating” on page 4!
