“The Hidden Impact of Screen Time on the Developing Brain” March 2, 2020 4:15 PM - 5:45 PM, Northville High School, Auditorium
You are invited to join us on Monday, March 2, 2020 to hear Katey McPherson, a well-known educator, speaker and advocate for protecting the health and wellness of our kids, particularly as it relates to the digital landscape of today’s world. This presentation is open to Teachers, Administrators, Parents, and ALL interested Community Members on “The Hidden Impact of Screen Time on the Developing Brain.”
In this presentation, you will learn how neuroscientists, sociologists and psychologists continue to process the incoming data on what is the exact impact of screen time on the developing brain. Katey provides keen insights into the types of screen time as well as how trusted adults and parents can guide and mentor students both at school and at home. She will discuss how we can collectively support the future of America by stepping into the digital divide instead of creating a larger one.
We hope to see you at this powerful learning session!
(Katey McPherson is also our Keynote and Breakout Session speaker at Parent Camp on Saturday, February 29, 2020. Hope you can join us there too!)

Brownie Troop - Book Drive
The Silver Springs 3rd grade Girl Scout Brownie Troop is holding a children’s book drive February 5-April 3. We are partnering with Rx for Reading Detroit to distribute the books collected.
Rx for Reading Detroit is a non-profit literacy initiative that works to expand access to
children’s books and support families in reading with their children. They distribute
approximately 2,000 children’s books a month with the help of community partners,
including low-income health, dental, and WIC clinics, homeless shelters, local schools
and Head Start programs and community centers.
The girls have set a goal to collect 450 books. There are collection boxes in front of
the main office and in the library at the school. We are looking for all gently used
books from board books up to teenage level books. Please help us synergize to reach
our goal!
