Jan Thomas' Rhyming Dust Bunnies deliver some news: Goodbye! Sigh! Why?! Ms. Rutter?

So what do we do when tech takes over our lives? How do we make an effort to disconnect? Follow the link for suggestions from KidsHealth. kidshealth.org/en/parents/tv… @WRMSBrantford
Yesterday Ms. Rutter took a break from Twitter. While it may seem that Social Media is the only means of connecting with others right now, it may also contribute to mental health concerns. @WRMSBrantford Check out this article explaining how: forbes.com/sites/alicegwalto…
