Screenagers Event Recap and Resources

Thank you to all the families who joined us last evening for our Screenagers: The Next Chapter parent session. With approximately 70 attendees, it was a meaningful evening of learning and reflection on the challenges our children face in today’s digital world.

We are especially grateful to our panellists, Leah Bittante (PRH counsellor), Bryanna Russel (Sanctuary Mental Health Ministry), St. John Paul II Principal Anthony Walters, and our own Mr. Borkowski, for sharing their insight and expertise.

Your presence and engagement made the evening truly valuable. We appreciate your partnership as we continue to support our students’ well-being together.
