**The best things in life are worth waiting for. We won't let winter 2026 stop us. It's really going to happen. Thanks for hanging in through multiple reschedules. We're so excited to meet with you all. We promise this will be worth it.** Do you feel alone and overwhelmed trying to navigate parenting in a screen-saturated world? Do you wish you could give your kid some of the best parts of our own childhood but feel like it’s an uphill battle? Do you want to be a part of a community striving to equip and encourage their kids (and themselves) to build healthy relationships with technology and even healthier real life relationships? You’re not alone. Connect with us as we launch the Shrewsbury chapter of The Balance Project on Monday March 9th at 7pm in the Multi-Purpose room at Shrewsbury Boro School. Join us for a judgement-free discussion as we gather together and learn from Balance Project leaders and share our own concerns and consider our goals. Come hear from our speakers, Tori Finnegan & Kelly Cullen of The Balance Project, Laura Fox (SBS art teacher), Carol Meyer (SBS 2nd Grade teacher), and Katie Meixsell (Psychologist). There’s a place for everyone in this community: it’s never too early to prepare and it’s never too late to make adjustments. We hope you join us as we navigate this together. Join the online chapter and RSVP to our launch event today.

Come grab ideas and resources to further your mission in your community. We will be sharing successes and challenges, and offering suggestions to get the ball rolling and keep it going. Looking forward to seeing you!
