80% of the CKS First Grade class, as well as several parents in a few other grades, have recently signed the Wait Until 8th pledge. This pledge empowers parents to rally together to delay giving their children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. By banding together, this will decrease the pressure felt by kids and parents alike over kids' having a smartphone. There are so many reasons to wait! (Please note: This pledge is for smartphones only -- if you plan on buying your child a basic phone that just calls and texts but avoids many of the potential distractions and dangers of the smartphone, you can still sign the pledge!). Will you join us? To learn more and sign the pledge, please visit www.waituntil8th.org or check out their Instagram account. I encourage class parents to reach out to their individual classes to encourage them to reach the same 80% goal that First Grade attained. Please feel free to contact 1st Grade parent Caitlin Studdard (caitlinstuddard@gmail.com) if you have questions or want to learn more!
