The Digital Wellness Initiative announces that Global Day of Unplugging is March 1-2! 

Up your game with your tech habits! Whether it is 1 hour or 24 hours, at some point during the first weekend of March, join the thousands of people in multiple countries who will step away from their screens and intentionally shift into an offline activity, an in-person interaction, a real-life gathering or simply a meaningful conversation about their relationship with technology. 

What to do on Global Day of Unplugging?

  • Attend Timberlane Middle School’s Family Game Night on March 1
  • Attend the HVCHS Musical Production, “How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying” on March 2  

Many other ideas can be found here. 

Take this day to carve out precious time to unplug, relax, reflect, be active, visit the outdoors and connect with loved ones.


HVCHS presents 

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem that took Broadway by storm, winning both the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize, How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying boasts an exhilarating score by Frank Loesser, including "I Believe in You," "Brotherhood of Man" and "The Company Way."

March 1&2 and 8&9 @ 7pm

Tickets are $15 /  $10 for students and seniors

Reserve your tickets now at: https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/80331

The Music and Theatre Parents Association (MTPA) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization separate from the school district. Our mission is to enhance curricular and extracurricular opportunities for CHS and TMS performing arts students and to support the work of the high school and middle school music, dance, tech, and theatre teachers. We help defray student fees, provide educational enrichment, raise community awareness, and support performances and other activities. We also host an awards banquet at the end of each year to honor the accomplishments of our students. Seniors receive special recognition, including the announcement of each year’s MTPA-funded book award recipients.

Future meetings are as follows for the year: 

March 6th

April 10th (spring break)

May 1st

June 5th

All meetings are held at 7:00 pm. Please use this Zoom link to join our meeting: https://zoom.us/j/96577035389

Make it a tech-free night! Don't know what to do with your night off?  Visit this link for some great ideas!  Special thanks to the Hopewell Valley Municipal Alliance for initiating this event.
