MAX STOSSEL
Two-Part Parent Presentation &
In-School Student Assembly
JRMS and JRMS PTA are proud to welcome Max Stossel - an award-winning poet, filmmaker and speaker - to talk to our kids and parents about social media. The important conversation that Max brings is less "social media is bad" and more "here are the ways these companies are profiting off your time and attention" as well as ways these platforms are INTENTIONALLY HINDERING your child’s potential and success.
