We are excited to announce that First Baptist has launched a partnership with The Social Institute (TSI), a national leader in curriculum designed to equip students to navigate the complex intersection of well-being, social media, and technology. While our program this year will be focused on grades 5th-8th, all families can benefit from parents accessing the Parent Toolkit. There is a wealth of knowledge there, and we are here to help if you have questions.

At a time when students spend many hours a day on digital devices, and cyberbullying and reputation-damaging posts run rampant, TSI equips students to make positive, healthy, and high-character choices that fuel their health, happiness, and future success. Our school will be adopting TSI’s comprehensive program, called #WinAtSocial, which promotes character, empathy, teamwork, and other important life skills.

Whether or not your child uses social media or a device of their own, we hope that you will consider how these free resources outlined below could be useful to your family.

Information offered through this partnership does not instruct anyone how to parent but instead, offers these supplementary resources that provide insight into social media, technology, and student experiences, offering family discussion prompts and informative resources so that you can incorporate them into family conversations as much or as little as you like.

We have also incorporated a Biblical Worldview Extension as well which we are very excited about.

Join us on August 30th at 6pm for our Parent Presentation: “How To Help Your Child(ren) Navigate The Complex Intersection of Well-Being, Social Media, and Technology in Positive, High-Character Ways." Please arrive at 5:45pm in the Fellowship Hall on our downtown Campus at 48 Meeting Street.
