Today is National Day of Unplugging!

Today is a great reminder to step away from our screens and reconnect with what matters most. Take time today to unplug from phones, social media, and devices to be more present in everyday moments.

S.A.D.D. encourages our students, staff, and families to join the challenge:
🌳 Spend time outdoors
💬 Have real conversations
📚 Read, create, or enjoy a favorite hobby
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Be fully present with the people around you

Sometimes the best way to recharge is to unplug. Take a break from notifications and enjoy the moments happening right in front of you!
