Dear Parents and/or Guardians,
Happy New Year!
As you know, The Culture Project has been at school for two presentations already-Human Dignity and Sexual Integrity. I hope you have been able to have some beneficial conversations with your child based on what they heard at these assemblies.
Our final presentation from The Culture Project will be this Monday, January 13. Students will be hearing about the important and relevant topic of Social Media.
From The Culture Project website:
With the advent of modern technology, smart phones, and social media our world has changed forever. How do we navigate this new social landscape that no generation has had to navigate before?
Designed to follow up our Human Dignity and/or Sexual Integrity presentations, this presentation will engage students in a dialogue about how to integrate virtue and excellence into their use of Social Media. We discuss how our use of media can either contribute to or endanger our personal happiness, our relationships, and the type of person we ultimately become. We will share about the great benefits to using social media, as well as how to avoid some of its biggest downfalls, such as comparison, isolation, inauthenticity, even habits like cyber-bullying and sexting.
Through the use of stories, cultural examples, and personal witness, we invite students to consider their own use of media and how we can all utilize the incredible tools that our modern day offers in Social Media to become a force for good in our communities and become people who leave a lasting positive impact on our world.
I invite you to take a look at The Culture Project website (www.thecultureproject.org) for more information. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you for your help in working together on the important task to help restore our culture!
In Christ,
Sara Lanzola
Director of Campus Ministry
