Wednesday Chet Kupen from Sports in Kansas came to AMS to talk about the power of social media. The main message was how we (regardless of age) should use it in a positive manner, not negatively. He shared many stories of how social media can be a benefit, but also ones about how it was used in a negative manner. He stressed that we should always think before we post, share, send, etc. anything on any form of social media or text. Once sent it is out there for all to see and can easily be shared to many, many people in a matter of seconds. We want to represent ourselves, our family, our school, our community, etc. in a positive manner. #WeAre409
