Raising children in the age of smartphones and social media brings new challenges and concerns for all families.  That’s why we are inviting you to join Phillips PTA on Thursday, January 16th at 7:00 pm for our Be Internet Awesome Family Workshop, which promotes safer and more responsible use of online technology among children and families.

During this event we will have a parent to parent discussion about how to help our children use apps and social media responsibly, how to make safe choices in the face of online security threats and why being open about online activity with your family is important.  You will walk away with tools and new resources to help your family make better choices online.

98% of kids 8 years and younger have access to a smart device.  It’s important that our families know how to keep each other safe and be the best versions of ourselves online.  We hope to see you January 16th to get the conversation started.

Dinner will be provided and we’ll also have a few awesome door prizes.

Please send rsvp and any questions to [email protected]
