Shadle Park HS Students, Families, and Community,

We hope this message finds you well. As part of our ongoing efforts to support and strengthen our community, we invite you to join us this Tuesday at 5:30pm for a special screening of "Screenagers." This thought-provoking film delves into the challenges posed by social media, video games, and academic pressures that our children face in the digital age.

Date: Tuesday, December 5, 2023
Time: 5:30pm
Location: Shadle Park HS Commons

"Screenagers" not only explores challenges, but also provides valuable insights and poses solutions on how we can partner to guide our children through the complexities of the digital world. It's an opportunity for us to come together as a community and learn with one another.

In addition to the screening, we are excited to launch our Food and Necessities Drive to make a positive impact in our local community. Donations will be collected through 4th period classes between Tuesday, December 5th, and Wednesday, December 20th. Your support can make a significant difference in the fight against hunger in our area. Students and families that are able are encouraged to contribute to this meaningful cause.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership; we look forward to seeing those who can make it at our showing of Screenagers this Tuesday!

Sincerely,

Chris Dunn

Principal, Shadle Park HS
