Sarah Casavechia
I hope you are enjoying the Easter Weekend with your family. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Tuesday.
Raising Children in a Screen-Filled World
If you’ve held off on screens, or are just beginning to introduce them, you’re not alone in wondering how to navigate technology with young children. On April 14 at 5:30pm, join us for a workshop with Nora Duncan O’Brien, author of Navigating Family Technology. This session is designed with families of young children in mind and offers practical, realistic strategies you can use right away. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of screen-time challenges, helpful language for everyday moments, and simple changes to try at home. All attendees can log a volunteer hour for coming! Tip: Reading the book in advance can deepen the experience, but it’s not required. RSVP here.
