In recent weeks we have tried to highlight some of the outstanding students who reside in our community. Janey Litvin is an amazing young girl who did something recently that many teens probably think is impossible--she gave up her i phone.

Janey Litvin, is a junior at Hastings High School, where she is an editor for the school paper, as well as a board member of Project Share, a service organization dedicated to helping the homeless.  She also is a member of the school's Varsity Cross Country team and Track team, as well as the Girls Varsity Basketball team.  She loves spending time with her friends and family, and recently wrote an article for Seventeen Magazine that all parents should love!

Do you think it's possible for your teen to give up their iphone for a flip phone?  For a day...week...month...permanently?

Should area schools sponsor a contest to see which school district in could have the greatest success rate?
