If sometimes you and your family just feel too “plugged in,” Newton offers a month-long remedy in March. In its 11th year, “Unplugged and Connected” hopes to promote, invigorate, and strengthen personal relationships by minimizing the use of computers, televisions, and telephones.

Check out this colorful calendar of suggested activities for each of the 31 days of March, Newton Unplugged encourages people to approach the month differently than the other harried, electronically-charged times of the year.

Highlights include: “No Homework Night” on March 12th; “Newton Has Talent” competition on March 30th; special events at Musuem of Science, Museum of Fine Arts, and JFK Library; a special edition Funtastic Friday for 4th graders on March 14, and more!

Newton “Unplugged and Connected” is a proud collaboration of Newton Community Service Center through its Child Assault Prevention program, Newton City Hall, and the Newton School Department.
