Social Media & Your Kids

2/26/2026 2:59 am

On March 5–6, the Curtis Parent Organization is welcoming Max Stossel of Social Awakening for a two-day visit to Curtis. During his visit, Max will deliver three student presentations and a presentation for teachers and staff.  In addition, he will host a live evening community talk, which is the event I am hoping you can share with each of your school communities. 

Max Stossel is an award-winning poet, filmmaker and speaker, named by Forbes as one of the best storytellers of the year. Max is also the Founder & CEO of Social Awakening, an organization dedicated to helping young people survive and thrive in this modern, digital world. During this Parents talk, Max will:

• Illustrate some of the specific ways technology is designed to be addictive & distracting
• Highlight how that's impacting our minds
• Give an overview of how students are using social media
• Provide recommendations on how to improve focus and diminish distraction in learning environments.

Parents are the primary audience, but students aged 10+ are welcome to attend.

Free event but registration required.

Join us March 5th at 7:00 PM at the Ephraim Curtis Middle School Auditorium.
