FREE DEVICE WORKSHOP PROVIDES TIPS FOR FAMILIES AS STUDENTS HEAD BACK TO SCHOOL

FREE DEVICE WORKSHOP PROVIDES TIPS FOR FAMILIES AS STUDENTS HEAD BACK TO SCHOOL FARMVILLE, VA (Sept. 1, 2016) – September means school is back in session, pencils are sharpened and homework is spread across the kitchen table. The start of a school year is also a common time for students to get their first cellphone. In fact, a recent U.S. Cellular survey* found that on average, children get their first cellphone at age 11. U.S. Cellular associates will help students and families prepare for the school year during a free Device Workshop in Farmville. Attendees will learn how to use their devices, such as an iPad Air 2, iPhone 6s or other device, to study for the next test, look up information or practice a foreign language. Guests don’t need to be U.S. Cellular customers to attend. “Our associates are available to show parents and kids how to use a smartphone or tablet to enhance and simplify learning,” said Nathan Waddell, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in the Mid-South. “Our high-quality nationwide network connects students to the information they need to succeed in school.” The free Device Workshop starts at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 17th at 1425 S. Main Street. You may call 434-315-8722 for more information or to RSVP. *U.S. Cellular survey conducted Nov. 12-21, 2015 by Consumer Insights, in partnership with Maritz CX.
