We are excited to announce that District 109 will host a free screening of Chasing Childhood on Tuesday, October 29, at 6:30 p.m. in the Caruso Middle School auditorium. This documentary aligns with our ongoing discussions throughout the school year about Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation. 

We have been so inspired by the conversations that have taken place around this topic that District 109 has donated copies to the Deerfield Public Library to keep the conversation going. We've also set up mini-libraries for our Riverwoods families who attend Caruso, South Park, and Wilmot. Just scan the QR code in the front lobby to borrow, and return it when you're done. Happy reading, 109!

🥇We are passing the torch to ignite the incredible year ahead!🏫✨ 

Our leadership team read Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation this summer and has been reflecting on the common themes and insights.
