Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age (Middle School Version)
2024-11-06 18:00 - 20:00 | School Cafetorium
We live in a digital world where technological advancement and their integration in our lives grows deeper and faster each day. There is growing recognition that social media and excessive screen time contribute to serious mental health concerns among our youth. To mitigate the negative impact of screens, we must tune into the latest research, set boundaries, and establish healthy screen use habits at school and home.
To support this journey, the FOSB PIE Committee and school staff invite our community to a viewing and discussion of Screenagers: Original Edition for middle- and high-schoolers. Free onsite childcare and pizza available for potty-independent children – RSVP for childcare here to guarantee we have sufficient staffing and food for your child(ren).

Re-Envisioning Public Education in Seattle
2024-11-07 18:30 - 20:30 | Salmon Bay Auditorium, 1810 NW 65th St, Seattle, WA, 98117, United States
Let’s get together to imagine a better public school system in Seattle, and create a vision to fight for.
To be honest, this school year started out with a whirlwind of stress and uncertainty. There is so much to learn, so much to unpack, all while continuing to show up for day-to-day life of parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
So the Friends of Salmon Bay Advocacy Committee thought it would be helpful to take some time to learn, share, and process — together. We’ll start with a history of how we got here, followed by an overview of the current landscape of organizations and initiatives fighting for awareness and change, and then take some to imagine scenarios where students and schools are thriving.
