Here's the answer to this week's joke:🦕A dino-snore!
Dear Wonderful Navy Families,
It has been a vibrant and exciting week at Navy Elementary School! This afternoon, we had the honor of welcoming School Board Representative Seema Dixit and Senator Stella Pekarsky for a guided tour of our school. They visited several classrooms, and we are deeply grateful for the time they dedicated to observing our wonderful students, collaborative teamwork, and inclusive learning practices in action.
We are also eagerly looking forward to our upcoming Veterans Day celebration on Wednesday, November 11, where we will honor current and former military heroes. I want to extend a personal thank you to our parent volunteers and staff for their hard work in making this meaningful event possible. You can help our school show its gratitude and patriotic spirit by encouraging your children to wear red, white, and blue on Wednesday!
As fall sports begin to wind down, we hope the extra time brings opportunities for cozy reading at home. Please continue reading with your young ones, encouraging independent readers to explore different genres, or planning a fun visit to the local public library.
Thank you for your steadfast support of our students and school community.
Have a Fabulous Weekend!
Jason, Barbara, and Kim!

Book: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
RSVP: navydigitalwellness@gmail.com or simply show up!
The shift to a tech-based childhood has dramatically impacted how kids think, feel, and grow. When smartphones and social media exploded in the early 2010s, childhood and adolescence changed almost overnight. Kids and teens started spending a lot more time online, and a lot less time playing, exploring, and connecting with each other in real life. And it came at a huge cost. The good news: we know how to fix this.
How can you give our kids more opportunities to be part of the real world rather than the virtual one? What would you like to change, if anything about your family’s relationship with smartphones and social media? What about video games and other screen-based activities? What problems do smartphones, social media, and screens solve in your life and what problems do they create? Come join our club as we discuss these questions and more! No time to read the book, feel free to just show up or review theanxiousgeneration.com The TAG Movement — from a book to a movement
