Bowie Parents,
I read a recent study about today’s teens and one of the statistics was that a
teen spends at least 9 hours a day on their phone, watching TV or some other type of
social media. 9 hours is the average. If you think about it, that is 1/3 of a day. I was
amazed by that stat. Why bring that up? I encourage you to carve time in the evening
to study and read. Facts show that reading improves vocabulary, it trains the mind
and it increases literacy. If you take one hour in the evening and turn all media off, it
will make a big difference in the long run. The question then turns to what do they
read? The answer is whatever interests them. It doesn’t matter if it’s a book, maga-
zine or paper as long as it is of interest. Elementary schools would have D.E.A.R.
Day. D.E.A.R stands for Drop Everything And Read. I encourage you to carve some
time out in the evening to Drop Everything And Read.
Embrace Bowie

Monday night, November 16th at 6:30 p.m. in the Bowie Library we
have our monthly parent meeting. We will have the Amarillo Public
Library bring a presentation and a short activity. Most importantly,
we have Panhandle Community Services bringing a presentation about the changes coming up on
January 1st regarding the Affordable Care Act and what those changes will mean for you. As you
know, all persons are required to have health insurance coverage or have exemption status by
January 1st or they can be fined. Panhandle Community Services will be here to talk about that
and help you enroll or fill out the exemption application. This is a meeting you don’t want to
miss; please come and bring another Bowie Parent with you. We will have a few door prizes to
hand out as well. We look forward to seeing you Monday Night, November 16th at 6:30 p.m. in
the Library.
