Dear parents,
This week we have heard many students talking about the Momo Challenge. We are very concerned about this and would like to pass along some information for you in case you need to talk with your child.
It is targeted at very young students and it threatens them to do challenges that eventually lead to hurting themselves or others. It pops up during YouTube videos and seems to be very popular as many young kids are talking about it or even “playing."
We are trying to address it with students that are scared or looking at the videos. We are also contacting parents of those students, but at this point many of our kids are familiar with it.
This site has more information:

There are opportunities to donate money and support Mini-THON:
1) Penny Wars: We will be having our annual Penny Wars Race the week leading up to the event benefitting EH Cares causes. Look for more information to come home.
2) Donate: All donations go directly to Four Diamonds and children fighting cancer at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. You can send a check to school (made payable to Four Diamonds or East Hanover PTO, with Mini-THON in the memo).
3) Donor Drive: Students can set up a personal fundraising page on Four Diamonds DonorDrive website. This is optional and there is no minimum fundraising required. Everyone who registers and shares the page with family and friends via email or social media will get a PRIZE. Find directions to complete your DonorDrive on page 2 here.
