All Little Silver 5th grade students and parents are invited to join The Balance Project for a back-to-school ice cream social. We will reconnect at the close of summer and learn about fostering a healthy balance with technology during the transition years at Markham.

This is for any Braintree community members interested in helping raise independent kids in Braintree, free from tech addiction. The event will begin with BrainFree Braintree ambassador ViVi Pierce speaking about her experience as a grade 8-12 teacher in three different communities regarding phones and ed tech. Then, it will open up to a group discussion.

Join us for a meeting to kick-off the school year and get going on this important work! We'll share what we've done, our new marketing materials and how we're going to involve the community.

Join us to chat about how to bring The Balance Project concepts to high schools in our area. Looking forward to a night of fun, friends and ideas. See you then! This will be held at The Cullen Home in Little Silver. Address will be shared closer to the event.
