This initiative strives to unite the St. Edmund’s Academy community to protect our children from the pervasive risks of addictive technologies connecting children to all forms of information and each other.
Our preschool to eighth-grade configuration uniquely positions us to provide a longer runway for childhood, ensuring our children are prepared for the world without being rushed into it. Thriving Together aims to establish community standards that steer children away from screen-centered lives, course-correcting away from experiences associated with unprecedented anxiety, depression, and distraction for this generation of children.
Facing a collective action problem, we invite trustees, parents, alumni, teachers, and students to volunteer for this effort. Whether you're passionate about wellness, research, student engagement, communication, or outreach, there's an opportunity to contribute. Volunteers can expect to dedicate about 5 hours to this initiative.
