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. 

2 PARENT EVENTS:

​PART 1: LIVE Q&A SESSION WITH MAX STOSSEL 

Monday, May 5th, at 7:00 pm via Zoom

  • For any parent concerned about the reach of these platforms or curious about how they are intentionally hindering your child's potential and success - a live Q&A will take place over Zoom on May 5 at 7:00pm. Registration is required - and a recording (as well as access to Max's content) will be available for 30 days upon registering.

PART 2: VIDEO SCREENING: “SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUR KIDS”

New Date and Location TBD

  • Tailored specifically for parents and guardians, this video presentation will focus on the mental, emotional and social challenges caused by social media to help parents better understand what their kids are experiencing online as well as ways to better support their kids at home.  

  • This event is free to all members of our community, but registration is required to help us gauge attendance.

​

IN-SCHOOL STUDENT EVENT:

LIVE, IN-SCHOOL ASSEMBLY FOR OUR STUDENTS:

May 5th at 10:00 at JRMS (Grades 6, 7 and 8th)

  • In his signature presentation, “We’ve Been Sneaking Into Your Brains,” Max will illustrate some of the specific ways technology is designed to be addictive, distracting and manipulative. He'll provide tools to help combat these designs and help our kids feel more empowered to better understand and take control of their activities online. Max will also open up much-needed discussion among peers about the impact of phones and social media on their lives.
