Just a few weeks before New Canaan Public Schools students returned to class in August, the Connecticut State Board of Education issued new guidance urging school districts to limit screen time and use technology only when it adds educational value. For parents concerned about the surge in iPads and Chromebooks since Covid, the guidance is a breath of fresh air. It should also be a wake-up call for New Canaan Public Schools.

I attended the New Canaan Music Festival with my wife and son, who came out from Brooklyn for the weekend.  

Michael-Louis Smith and his team should be applauded for producing a great event at the Nature Center. It’s not easy to produce an eleven hour event such as this. We weren’t sure what to expect, but it exceeded our expectations.

I met Meredith Tobitsch at the playground at Mead Park in the spring of 2024. We were both toddler moms, and we quickly became friends, bonding over raising young children while acclimating to a new community.
