'Screenagers: Growing Up In The Digital Age'

Lewis-Palmer School District #38, Superintendent Karen Brofft, and the Parent Community Technology Advisory Committee are thrilled to present Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about one of the biggest parenting issues of this current time.

Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and award-winning documentary filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction.

Screenagers reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.

This documentary is recommended for 6th graders and older with their parents/guardians.

There will be a dinner and games prior to the screening from 5:30 to 6 p.m. The screening will be followed by a student and parent panel as well as giveaways.
