2018 Unionville High School Used Book Sale - Annual Neighborhood Book Collection

On Saturday January 20^th, we will kick off the 2018 Unionville High School Used Book Sale with our annual neighborhood book collection.  

We are in need of student drivers for the collection and we also need both students and adults to help set-up, unload cars, and sort and price the books.

Click here for the student driver sign-up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f4ca8ae2f4-2018   

  

This is a community event, so even if you do not have a student in the High School, you are very welcome to come and help as it takes many hands and hours to prepare for the sale.  We will have volunteer shifts up until the day of the sale – we have hours during the day, or in the evening if daytime hours are inconvenient.  We’ve set aside hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and certain Saturdays for volunteer help. No prior experience is necessary!  This is a great way to meet new people, connect with friends, or a way to spend time while waiting for a practice vs driving home and back in the cold! Every little bit of help is vital to the success of the sale!

The 2018 Used Book Sale will take place on Friday, February 23rd, and Saturday, February 24^th.  We will need many, many volunteers on those days as well for the set up and actual sale.

So, please volunteer for a shift or two or three by clicking on the following SignUp Genius link:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f4ca8ae2f4-20182

If you have any questions please email us at uhsbooksale@gmail.com, or go to our website at www.uhsbooksale.org. 

Thank you.

Hope to see you there!!

The UCFSD Wellness Committee Presents: iGen Book discussion & Author Visit

Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy--and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood--and
What That Means for the Rest of Us

The UCFSD Wellness Committee is working to create awareness and conversation around the topic of the "iGen" generation. iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps why they are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
 
But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality.


A highly readable and entertaining first look at how today’s members of iGen—the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later—are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation, from the renowned psychologist and author of Generation Me.

Hardcover - $15.51
Kindle - $12.99

SAVE THE DATE - Dr. Twenge will be visiting UCFSD April 12-13, 2018.

SCREENAGERS - Growing up in the Digital Age

Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time—friction she knew all too well.

Award-winning SCREENAGERS probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including the director's own, and depicts messy struggles, over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through surprising insights from authors and brain scientists solutions emerge on how we can empower kids to best navigate the digital world.

Avon Grove School District has invited UCFSD families to a private viewing of SCREENAGERS December 19, 2017 - 6:30pm at the Jennersville YMCA, West Grove, PA
