"For most of the parents I talk to, their stories don’t center on any diagnosed mental illness. Instead, there is an underlying worry that something unnatural is going on, and that their children are missing something—really, almost everything—as their online hours accumulate."
- The Anxious Generation
Please join the Brunswick High School Community on Tuesday March 11th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm in the High School Library for a discussion of Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation. We will talk about the book's themes, current research, and about creating a healthy learning environment for our students. All Brunswick community members are welcome. There is no requirement that you have read the book. Please contact Hugh Dwyer (hdwyer@brunswicksd.org) with any questions. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you!
Please park in the front parking lot and enter through the front doors. The library is straight ahead (around the stairway). Someone will be there to greet you.

Do you ride your bike to school? Are you interested in representing your fellow student cyclists in the pursuit of safe routes to school, all while earning community service hours? Consider becoming a student representative to the BBPAC Safe Routes to School committee. We meet on Zoom once every 2 months, and more often when the weather is nice and we are planning an event (Bike/Walk to School Days, or table representation at community events). Your voices are an integral part of the change we’d like to see made to Brunswick streets. Your advocacy matters; join us. Contact Eric Funderburk <efunderburk@brunswicksd.org> for more information.
