On April 30, Gonzaga Preparatory School will present the third installment of the documentary series Screenagers. You are invited to join parents from each of our local Catholic Elementary Schools (in addition to parents from Gonzaga Prep) for this free event. A question-and-answer session will follow the screening. We'll kick things off at 6pm; the film will run until approximately 7:10pm and we'll wrap the Q&A at 7:30pm.
If you have friends in public schools who might be interested, feel free to invite them as well. We request that all attendees complete the registration form linked below.
The Screenagers series highlights the challenges and opportunities that come with modern life. This particular film examines the impact of our digital age on teens' decision-making in relation to substances such as vaping, drugs, and alcohol.
Exploring the latest research and learning more about the personal experiences of teens and families, the film highlights the changing landscape of the substances themselves, offering solutions for how we can best empower teens as they face decisions about what they will and will not be influenced by.
