Dear Partner School Leaders,
Rooted in our commitment to our partner schools, I am reaching out to invite your families to an important upcoming parent education night. Bishop O'Dowd High School, in partnership with our Dragon Parents and Guardians Group, is pleased to present a documentary film screening of #KidsOnTech. The film will be followed by a discussion with Director Paul Zehrer on Thursday, February 1 from 6:30-8:30pm in the O'Dowd Theater.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, when we now rely on technology more than ever before, #KidsOnTech explores the rampant increase of cellphone and digital device use on today’s K-12 kids’ mental health. It tackles the core dilemma: How do we protect and prepare our children for the future? The film follows a diverse array of kids, parents, and educators from around the globe to tell a human story about the long term ramifications of our digital media consumption.
The evening will include a special screening of the 52 minute film followed by a Question & Answer/Discussion with the film's director, Paul Zehrer to follow. This event is open to both O'Dowd parents and students, as well as our partner schools' parents and students. Please share this information in your upcoming newsletters or similar communications.
