✨️What an amazing evening ✨️

The Lauderdale County Branch of the NAACP Education Committee wants to extend a heartfelt "thank you" to our amazing moderator, insightful panelists, and every community member who joined us for last Thursday’s Community Forum. Your presence, engagement, and shared commitment made it a truly meaningful event.

We gained so much valuable information and perspective on appropriate screen time for children, as well as the mental and social impacts of excessive use. These are conversations that truly matter for our families and our future.

We are also deeply grateful to **Save The Children** for the generous donation of non-perishable items for our community, your continued support makes a lasting difference. 💖

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for showing up, sharing, and supporting this important dialogue!

And because of the enthusiasm and interest from our community… more has been requested—so stay tuned, because there’s *more to come*!
