Good luck at State!
Cedar Falls Schools will be hosting a virtual screening and panel discussion of the new documentary LIKE. More than 2 billion people have smartphones today and we check our phones on average an incredible 150 times every day. Technology makes our lives easier in so many ways - but what is the cost of our dependence, and our children’s reliance, on screens?

LIKE reveals the true effects of technology on the brain and uncovers the impact social media can have on our lives. The film’s mission is to educate, inform and inspire people to effectively self-regulate their screen time.

LIKE Virtual Screening and Panel Hosted by Cedar Falls Schools
Thursday March 25
6 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public.
Visit the District Equity Website for New Resources
for Students, Staff and Families
Join the discussion! The Waterloo Human Rights Commission, Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission and EMBRACE invite community members to read, view podcasts and share perspectives about The 1619 Project as it relates to the history of the Cedar Valley.
Cedar Valley residents are invited to participate in a six-week online
