GARDEN CITY, NY — ‘NoSo (No Social Media) November’ took place this November at Garden City High School. The Garden City High School Parent Teacher Association announced an initiative to promote healthier digital habits.
PTA member Dawn Dennis introduced the initiative to encourage less screen time throughout the month.
In physical education classes, students reviewed their current screen time and set goals to reduce it. Their goals were anonymously posted on banners inside the school.
Parents aren’t being left out– they are an important part of the initiative and are encouraged to speak to their children about screen time and goals.
“This initiative was an outstanding success,” Assistant Principal Cohn said. “Staff and students alike participated and collaborated to do assessments of their screen time usage and their overall usage of social media. It was a useful and enjoyable initiative we will surely proceed with next year.”
