Dufur High School students were able to learn more about how to stay safe and protect their privacy online thanks to Rachel Visser, the Prevention Education Manager from KIDS Center! We asked Rachel to come and work with our students about internet safety and they had a great time and had great conversations! Next month Rachel will be working with our Middle School students! Thanks Rachel!
