Special Screening of “Screenagers” – Wednesday, April 5th at 7pm in the Banooni Auditorium
We are thrilled to present SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.
SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on-depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.
Film time: One hour 6 minutes
Appropriate for adults and kids 10 and older (however, many parents bring kids younger than 10 and are happy they did.)
Our children have been preparing and warming up their vocal cords all month for this wonderful event. The Spring Sing is just a few days away. Don’t miss your chance to experience it again and again. These magical memories are available for a short time. Order your DVD today! Each DVD costs $20.00 and must be ordered in advance. Order your DVD by Friday, April 7, 2017.

Graphic Designers Needed!
Are you a talented graphic designer who would love to put your passion to work for your child’s school? We need you! For jobs big and small, we can use as many volunteers as want to help out.
The Warner playground is in need of some new storage equipment and playground equipment for the yard. Please look at the two sites below, US Games and Amazon, if you are interested in making a donation. US Games sells the storage we are seeking and Amazon sells the equipment. Thank you for your donations and contributions. Every donation is greatly appreciated!

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you! Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far. Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint). All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity. The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now. And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing!
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
We have earned $2000 this year but have the potential to earn MUCH more!
Add the Warner Avenue HOME PAGE to your phone and use it! Once you click the Amazon logo from the warner website, it will take you directly to your Amazon app or account. See pictures below on how to set this up.
