Dear parents,

Some updates for STEM week:

  • The 4th graders will display their in-school STEM project on Friday January 18th.
  • The 5th graders will be leaving at 7:20 am on Friday January 18th from North Shore parking lot to go to JA Biztown.

Here is some information about the documentary “SCREENAGERS:”

On January 10th from 6-7:30 PM, MMA will be screening the documentary SCREENAGERS for all interested parents, students and friends of the school in the Junior High commons area.
SCREENAGERS – The average child in America spends more time consuming electronic media than going to school, with many teenagers going online “almost constantly.” In SCREENAGERS, physician and filmmaker Delaney takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into family life to explores parental struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant and funny stories along with insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.

Again, if you have any questions, then please email me.

Thank you – John
