Beyond the Screen: How Palos Heights Is Inspiring Kids to Unplug

In this episode of the IASA Podcast, we sit down with a Palos Heights School District 128 administrator to discuss the district's Screen-Free Summer initiative, a community-wide effort to get kids off devices and into enriching, hands-on experiences. From a family event drawing dozens of community partners to a summer challenge designed to keep the momentum going, Palos Heights offers a replicable model for districts looking to promote student wellness beyond the classroom — and a timely conversation as statewide cell phone legislation moves through Springfield.
