Teachers, we know you spend far too much of your own money on classroom supplies. That’s why Christine & Salt, along with their charity Rise and Shine Connecticut, are once again helping Clear the List!
🍎❤️Thursday, August 13th Clear the List teacher: Kelly Roman has been teaching in Meriden for 23 years and is a Media Specialist at Washington Middle School. While she teaches technology, she also knows when it’s time to put the screens DOWN! Kelly’s “Media Balance” days give students a chance to unplug, play games, laugh and connect face-to-face. She’s also hoping to bring her “Friends Not Phones” initiative to the school cafeteria, giving students fun ways to interact during lunch instead of scrolling. Click here to help Kelly create more screen-free moments for her students by clearing her list!
