FROM THE HEART OF MRS. ROGERS
It's a Smartphone Generation - Guiding Your Child's Media Choices
Phones aren't even used mostly for making phone calls anymore! Isn't that crazy. Did you know 89% of students in America have smart phones? That's the current statistic and remember - these aren't used mostly for making calls.
Interesting and thought provoking statistics:
- Most students with devices have almost continual access to these devices - any place, any time.
- Within 3 minutes of looking at the device - students report they feel depressed (keep in mind they are comparing what they see or read with their current situation)
- Depression is on the rise in youth.
- Youth are doing more and more to be "liked"
I hope you will take the time to hear even more on this topic by listening to Focus on the Family's podcast about this topic. This topic has information, helpful hints and more!

State Championship – December 5-7. We will shoot on Friday and Saturday. I hope everybody can get there around 1:00 Thursday afternoon and get in a little practice. It would be great if we could go eat together Thursday night. I got a room at the Springhill Suites Midtown. If any of you have a camper you can stay at the gun club if you contact them. FYI there will probably be a few vendors selling custom ear protection, tee shirts, etc.For season info about SHOTGUN, click Shotgun Season Info
