⚠️ SCHOOL SAFETY AWARENESS ⚠️

Parents, guardians, students, and community members,

We want to make you aware of a social media trend that has recently been circulating and has resulted in school-related concerns and law enforcement investigations, including here in Michigan.

The “Cat in the Hat” social media trend may seem like another harmless internet trend, but some versions have escalated to posts referencing specific schools, communities, and even individual students using threatening language.

Please take a few minutes to review the information below and talk with your children about what they may be seeing or sharing online.

At this time, there is no known threat to the Hannahville School associated with this trend. This information is being shared simply to keep our families informed and our school community prepared.

As always if you see something or hear something concerning, say something. Even if it is meant as a joke or part of an online trend, we would rather know about it and determine that it is nothing than have something concerning go unreported.

Earlier today, Chief Hansen had the opportunity to meet with FBI Director Kash Patel at the Gun Lake Tribal Police Department in Shelbyville, Michigan. The discussion focused on strengthening the partnership between the FBI and tribal law enforcement through collaboration, resource sharing, and open communication.

Strong partnerships between tribal, local, state, and federal agencies are essential to enhancing public safety and ensuring the best possible service to our communities. We appreciate the opportunity to work alongside Director Patel and our federal partners in support of that mission.
