PTA Connected: Be Internet Awesome, sponsored by Google + YouTube

Hedenkamp PTA was selected as a recipient of National PTA’s PTA Connected: Be Internet Awesome funding sponsored by Google + YouTube!
We will be hosting a digital education event on Thursday, April 20, 2023, at 5:30 pm. During this event, parents and caregivers will have the chance to:
- Learn about how to keep their families smart, alert, strong, kind, and brave online.

- Engage with their peers to discuss their families’ online experiences and solutions.
We are in need of volunteers to help plan and make our event a success.
