Lilja Lions

We are so proud of our Special Olympics team and Peer Athletes for representing our school with enthusiasm, perseverance, and outstanding sportsmanship! Our Olympians demonstrated incredible determination and teamwork throughout the event, and it was wonderful to see the joy, encouragement, and friendships shared by all. Thank you to our staff, families, and volunteers who helped make this such a successful and memorable experience for everyone involved!

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting students’ safe and healthy online engagement, we encourage families to explore a variety of resources related to digital citizenship, internet safety, media literacy, and navigating online communities. These guides offer practical strategies for helping children think critically about online content, build positive digital habits, and engage safely and responsibly in online spaces. Organizations such as Common Sense Media and the Southern Poverty Law Center provide helpful parent guides, toolkits, and family resources that may support conversations at home about technology use, social media, online behavior, and digital well-being. These guides emphasize the importance of helping children think critically about online content, recognize manipulative messaging, and engage in open conversations about identity, belonging, and digital safety. The resources also include practical toolkits, webinars, and family discussion strategies that may be helpful for parents navigating today’s online landscape. While Natick Schools do not endorse any specific resource, this website has been identified by many families as helpful.

• Building Resilience and Confronting Risk by the Southern Poverty Law Center
• Online Platform Management Guides by Common Sense Media

We have brought some amazing programming into Lilja this year! In order to continue giving these experiences to our students, we need your help! Please contact our team to support our team, there are ways to help that fit all schedules!
