Girls today are growing up in an environment of constant comparison, performance, and social evaluation — all happening through a screen they carry everywhere.

When friendships become public metrics and self-worth gets tied to likes, streaks, and appearance, anxiety isn’t surprising. It’s predictable.

The question isn’t whether social media affects mental health. It’s whether we’re willing to redesign childhood around what humans actually need: sleep, connection, confidence, and real-world experiences.

Mankato East High School students are using their skills to give back! 🪚🏫
Kennedy Elementary has awesome new picnic tables thanks to the exceptional craftsmanship of the East High shop class.

This project was a true community effort, made possible by a generous donation of lumber from The Home Depot Mankato. Thank you to everyone involved for creating such a wonderful outdoor space for our elementary students! ✨
