While Screen Fee Week has been internationally declared as May 2-8, 2016, we are challenging St. Paul families to prayerfully consider stepping up to the challenge to spend this next week as a screen free week. This means no screens for entertainment for a week. Will it be a challenge? You better believe it. Could it be very rewarding for your family? Absolutely.
We all need to detox from our devices at times and this is a great time to do that. Take the pledge and the plunge as a family. Get outside, play games together, create, read, get active.

Going Further:
As your family discusses having some “screen-free” time this next week, watch the video below together and then talk about the fun things you can do as a family without devices. This video was also included in the connected 3D kit that was handed out in January.
