November 16, 2023 - Social Media Wellness: How to Help Children and Adults Thrive in an Unbalanced Digital World
Register for the talk here: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/perusocialmediawellness
In our always-on digital world, it can be hard for tweens and teens - and adults! - to successfully navigate online and IRL worlds. With empathy, compassion, and humor, noted Silicon Valley author Ana Homayoun discusses some of the modern parenting dilemmas in the age of the smartphone and speaks about her work in two of her most recent books, Social Media Wellness: Helping Teens and Tweens Thrive in an Unbalanced Digital World and Erasing the Finish Line: The New Blueprint for Success Beyond Grades and College Admission. Ana’s work explores how the digital balancing act affects all aspects of our lives and personal wellness, and, for students, impacts academic abilities and social well-being as well as emotional and physical health. Ana's work, which is grounded in research and based on over two decades of working with students, offers practical solutions for students, parents, and educators as they navigate the ever-changing issues involving social networking and healthy child and teen development. To learn more about Ana and her work, please visit www.anahomayoun.com.

What a Key Club Week it has been! We wrapped up a shoe drive for Elmore SPCA with 22 pairs of donated shoes, showed our Key Club spirit, worked on community service projects with NACS Builders Club, received cards and donations from Rouses-Point Champlain Kiwanis and Rouses Point Elementary K-Kids for the deployed NACS soldier collection, and made treat bags for the NACS Senior Class of 2024. We have some other random acts of kindness planned for this month. Thank you to everyone who supports NACS Key Club and who has donated items. We couldn't do it without our awesome community!
NAC Pre-K students visited two businesses in nearby communities on Wednesday and had a great time learning. The SmokeHouse Pizzeria in Brainardsville and Price Chopper in Malone were very generous with their time and treats. Thank you for supporting the students of Northern Adirondack School!
