Kids’ Brains & Screens: A Community Conversation

Parents, grandparents, students, and community members—this is a conversation that affects all of us. Join us for an important workshop about helping kids develop healthy relationships with screens and technology at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24th, in the Mid-Prairie High School Cafeteria.

ScreenStrong Ambassador Jan Hochstetler, a retired school administrator and author, will share practical strategies to help families prevent and reverse childhood screen dependency. With years of experience working with children and families—and as a parent herself—Jan brings both professional insight and real-life perspective.

This event is open to everyone in the community:
• Parents and caregivers
• High school and middle school students
• Grandparents
• Educators and community members

A complimentary meal of pork burgers generously donated by Brenneman Pork, chips, water, and cookies will be available beginning at 6:00. Whether you’re looking for guidance, curious about the impact of screens on kids’ brains, or simply want to start meaningful conversations at home, this workshop offers practical tools and encouragement.

📷 Scan the QR code on the flyer to learn more about ScreenStrong.

Please help us spread the word and invite others who might benefit. We hope to see you there!
