Community Book Read: The Anxious Generation
Medway Schools invites our parents/guardians to participate in a community book read of The Anxious Generation (https://amzn.to/3CFUVZK).

It also offers parents/guardians practical strategies to flip the script to improve youth mental well-being.
The book will be read until November 30 and culminate with a panel discussion on December 4 at 6:30 pm at Medway Middle School featuring Dr. Peter Gray, who is spotlighted in the book. To register for this event, please click here: https://bit.ly/3OiV8V8.
