SUMMARY: Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and it’s the season to participate in traditions like the turkey pardon. Extra Table, a nonprofit organization, is collaborating with Cigna Health to promote their “Save the Turkeys” campaign. Together, they’re calling on families to suggest names for a turkey that the governor will pardon. This activity is a spirited way to broach the subject of hunger with children, fostering uplifting and encouraging conversations. Submissions can be made via coloring sheets or social media until tomorrow. Three suggested names will be selected, with a winner announced on Wednesday. The turkey pardon event is scheduled for this Thursday at the governor’s mansion. For additional details, visit WDAM’s website.

SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.
