Flash-n-Flush one-pager · Grades 6-12

Flash-n-Flush: Free and urgent? That's bait.

A restroom-stall one-pager for students in grades 6-12 (holiday giveaways). Fake giveaways, 'free' phone credits and copycat apps are built to grab one thing: your login, your personal info, or a payment from a family card. Three tips — Get apps from the official store only; Check who's really posting; No family cards for 'free' stuff — a spot-the-scam pop-up with 5 red flags and the answer printed upside down, a sourced fun fact, a 60-second action and a QR code to a free two-minute lesson.

How to use and print

Print on Letter paper at 100% (no 'fit to page'). The colour edition prints well on office colour printers; the B/W edition is toner-friendly for copiers. Laminate or slide into a stall-door sleeve; swap monthly.

Participating districts download the same files co-branded with their own name and logo, and the QR codes count scans for their campaign reports.
