Speaker Series
The Great Valley School District partners annually with community organizations and professionals to bring learning opportunities to our community. These events focus on both the physical and mental well-being of the community and, specifically, our students. All events are free to the public, but registration in advance is required.
Events are added throughout the year. Please check back often.
Social Media 101: Enjoying the Benefits While Protecting Ourselves and Each Other (virtual event)
Social media plays an integral role in most U.S. citizens’ lives, including students. In fact, as of January 2024 over 70% of Americans are active on at least one social media platform. And research shows that teens spend almost five hours each day on social media platforms. While there are positives aspects of engaging with others through these apps, there are also hazards that may not be readily apparent. Join us as representatives from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General discuss how to help our youth stay safe and smart online, including a discussion of the difference between speech that is protected by the First Amendment, and unprotected speech that could have legal implications.
