☀️ Digital Diet Summer Tip: A little less screen time, a little more togetherness.
Screens can be helpful. They can give families a break, help during busy moments, or be part of a routine. The Digital Diet is not about being perfect or getting rid of screens.
It is about making sure there is still plenty of room for the things children need most: play, sleep, movement, talking, and time with the people who love them.
This week, try one small screen-free moment:
• Read one book together
• Play music and dance
• Take a short walk
• Keep phones off the table during one meal
• Talk in the car
• Play outside for 10 minutes
• Ask, “What was the best part of your day?”
Small moments together can make a big difference.

Last week, the Woodland Developmental Center family lined the sidewalks in front of the school to cheer on the nine students completing the program as they took part in the annual Completion Parade. Surrounded by family, friends, classmates, and staff, each student was celebrated with music, dancing, pom-poms, handmade signs, hugs, and plenty of happy tears.
As their favorite songs played, our completers sang, danced, smiled, soaked in the love and encouragement of the community that has been cheering them on every step of the way.
Congratulations to Camryn, Joshua, Tyrique, Jenea, Adam, Trevor, Max, Joya, and Dominic. You will always be part of the #WeAreSCCRESA family.
