Growing Up Digital Presentation
Dec 15th
A presentation to Middle School parents around technology and their children. Helping parents understand that today’s students are different.

Shift happens, and learning to deal with the changes facing our world and how to help your child be successful in it is something educators, parents, and the larger community need to work together on in harmony.
