Earth Week is this week and the District 96 PTA/PTOs are encouraging their elementary school students and families to go screen-free for the week during their recreational time.
“Unplug” by turning off your televisions, computers, video games, iPads/tablets and hand-held devices for all recreational use.
Are you ready for the challenge?
Fill out the pledge card (sent home in backpacks or click on the following link – Screen-Free Pledge Cards), hang it on your refrigerator as a reminder and spend your free time reconnecting with family and friends!
*At the end of the week, a printable Certificate of Achievement will be posted in the Happenings and on the PTA website for parents/guardians to print out and reward their children for a job well done!
