TranslateHello Parents and Caregivers,
We believe in the importance of parents helping children find a healthy balance with screen time. This is challenging! Our Screenagers team is made up of parents who know this all too well.
Our school will be screening of the critically acclaimed documentary called Screenagers in the Essex gym on Tuesday, May 23, 2017, @ 6:00pm.
This is an adult only event for parents, friends and family members of Essex/Hawthorne students.
Please RSVP: screenagersatessex@gmail.com
About the film:
Award-winning SCREENAGERS probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including the director’s own, and depicts messy struggles, over social media, video games, academics, and internet addiction. Through surprising insights from authors and brain scientists solutions emerge on how we can empower kids to best navigate the digital world. See more at www.screenagersmovie.com
