An upper Manhattan mom was tired of screen time. She convinced 38 schools to take a ‘screen break.’

An upper Manhattan mom, Olympia Kazi, convinced 38 schools in Manhattan’s District 6 to participate in a week-long 'Screen Break' initiative to reduce screen time in classrooms and promote activities like recess and community events. The effort aligns with broader national movements addressing concerns about excessive screen use and its health impacts, including anxiety and poor sleep.
