11. Students let's THINK before you speak. Make sure whatever it is that you have to say passes the THINK Test prior to saying it. 

T - is what you have to say True

I - is what you have to say Inspiring

N - is what you have to say Necessary

K - is what you have to say Kind

12. Hey students! Here’s an important reminder about social media:
    Everything you post online is real — and it doesn’t just disappear. Once it’s out there, it can last forever. Your social media activity is a reflection of you. That means future employers, teachers, or colleges might look at your posts to learn more about your character. So just like how you try to show kindness, respect, and responsibility in person, make sure you do the same online. Think before you post — and always represent yourself in a positive way. You've got the power to make smart choices, both in real life and online!
