“Working together makes all of us stronger.”

Take just a few minutes to let a Pelham teen know you admire them. It’s so easy to nominate someone, and it means so much to them.
On October 22nd, Pelham Together held its Fall Town Hall exploring the theme: “Empowering Pelham's Youth.” The evening emphasized how we empower our youth through peer to peer mentorship and mental health support.
Our Digital Citizenship Month series of virtual workshops ended with “Friendship and Texting.”Sarah Trombley, digital parenting expert, shared how to help your child text in a positive way.
In recent years there has been an increase in copycat edibles - meaning, candy that looks almost exactly like a popular branded candy or snack, except that it also contains THC (the substance in marijuana that produces the high). We need to know what these packages look like to stay vigilant, especially at Halloween. Check out these copycat packages before checking your kids’ candy this year.
Sarah Trombley, digital parenting expert, led “Deep Dive on Snapchat”, the second virtual workshop of our series on Digital Literacy. She showed us firsthand how to use the app, what parental controls are available and details to keep our kids safe on the tool.
Sarah shared information on how the four major social media platforms, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram, work and how to access parent controls to keep kids safe. She also shared a number of resources including articles on how to say no and how to say yes to social media when your child asks for it and a social media contract template.
