Screenagers Film
APS is hosting a family-friendly screening of the elementary version of Screenagers at 5:30 PM, followed by pizza ! Then, at 7:15 PM, we’ll be showing the full Screenagers film for secondary students and their families. Pizza will be provided at 6:30 PM before the showing.
Screenagers takes an honest, relatable look at how screens — social media, video games, and digital distractions — are impacting our kids. Filmmaker Delaney Ruston, who faced these challenges with her own children, shares insights into how technology affects family life, education, and mental well-being.
The film dives into struggles like social media, video games, and internet addiction, while also providing solutions to help adults guide kids in this digital age. You’ll leave with valuable ideas on how to empower kids to strike a healthy balance with screens! For more information check out: https://www.screenagersmovie.com/
Date: April 1st
Time: Elementary Movie: 5:30 PM; Pizza: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM; Full Movie: 7:15 PM

We hope to see you there!

Family Literacy
Talking is Teaching National Campaign
Gratiot/Isabella Great Start Collaborative is a partner for this national campaign. Each week, they publish a Weekly Family Challenge. They have also added a "Secret Monthly Message" that is hidden in each week's Family Challenge. When you access the Weekly Family Challenge each week you can search for the inappropriately capitalized letters and string them together in order for the month, and it will spell out a secret message. The first family to complete the form (which is linked to each inappropriately capitalized letter) with the correct message wins a $10 gift card! The form will be shut off as soon as someone completes it for the month. The Weekly Family Challenge is linked below.
