The Anxious Generation Community Focus Event

 

The Parent/Guardians and Staff at Woodridge, Enatai, and Medina are invited to join the parent/guardians and staff of Clyde Hill on March 18th from 4:30 - 6:00 PM as we delve into conversation about Jonathan Haidt's text The Anxious Generation.  Using a format similar to what the Bellevue Schools Foundation used earlier in the year, we'll be discussing how the impact of technology on children and how Haidt frames this as a collective action challenge.  Looking at this together as the west attendance area makes sense as many of our students will ultimately attend middle and high school together.
