Families are invited to a free presentation about the impacts of social media on students at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 10 at the Sartell Middle School Performing Arts Center.
The presentation is coordinated by a group of student volunteers from Sartell middle and high schools to address social media concerns. At the event, student volunteers will debut a public service announcement video for their peers about the impact of being online. After the event, the video will be shared with their peers.
Staff from the Central Minnesota Mental Health Center will educate parents/guardians and students about topics including the impacts of social media on students’ well being, setting limits, common social media platforms, options for parental controls and reporting concerns online.
Sartell High School Assistant Principal Amanda Holstrom shared, “I am so proud of the great work our SMS and SHS student volunteers have done to educate their peers – and now our community – about social media.”
The event is free and open to the public; students are encouraged to be accompanied by an adult.
