A great note from a parent: What are your kids watching?
We know that Squid Game is incredibly popular … but is it appropriate for our middle schoolers? Something to think about.
Other items on our radar in middle school: umbrellas, phones, Chromebook use.
Mary: We’d like share to shoutout to our listeners!
This week’s shoutout goes to … Tina Chiao: “Always appreciate the effort and energy that goes into recording the podcasts for our MS families. I, like most parents, have subscribed to ensure I don't miss any episodes. The synergy between the two of you is great... always entertaining. Also really helpful to have a heads-up on school events and highlights, especially now that we are less connected because of Covid. Thanks for all that you do to keep parents and caregivers engaged in the school community with this technology! - Tina “
Final Words
Bits & Bytes: Checking in with Mr. Lee, saying hi to Mrs. Prinsloo, Grade 8 boys, worship practice, strings practice
