A healthy childhood depends on a surprising thing: play! Through creative play, kids explore their physical world, build their curiosity, and expand their imaginations. Screen-Free Week allows families and communities to come together and connect. This year, we are excited to bring you Screen Free Week, February 23 - 27, which aligns nicely with our Read-a-Thon fundraiser.

What is Screen-Free Week?

Screen-Free Week encourages students to unplug from digital screens and explore fun, creative activities like reading, playing, and spending time with family. Students will complete pledge cards and track their screen-free days. The class with the most screen-free days will win an ice cream sandwich party! Make sure your student turns in their pledge card with the screen-fee days to their teacher.
