Additionally, attendees will learn more about how to set limits on devices and other media applications.

These scholars had an amazing time participating in the virtual Community Helpers field trip! 🚓👩‍⚕️📚 They got a special behind-the-scenes look at some of the incredible people who keep our community running. Students toured the Police Department, Mayor's Office, Fire Department, TidalHealth, Wicomico County Public Library, and WMDT TV Station. What an experience!
