Santa Fe Public Schools announced on May 8 the launch of a new Digital Wellness Trading Card campaign aimed at encouraging students to develop healthier relationships with technology through collectible trading cards.
The initiative seeks to address student well-being by promoting balanced technology use in an engaging and interactive way. The campaign uses trading cards that contain facts, tips, and reminders about healthy screen habits, digital wellness, and mindful technology use. Card packs will be available in both English and Spanish and distributed at each school site.
The collection features six base cards, two special foil cards, and ten rare exclusive redemption cards hidden throughout the packs. Students who find one of these exclusive redemption cards will receive a free bicycle as part of a partnership between Santa Fe Public Schools, the Husband and Wife Law Team, The Housing Trust, and the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Fe.
“This is a creative way to meet students where they are while also encouraging more balance in their day,” said SFPS Superintendent Dr. Christine Griffin. “By blending learning with a little excitement and meaningful incentives, we hope students start to be more intentional about their screen time and find healthy ways to stay active and connected beyond their devices.”
The program was developed under the leadership of Board of Education President Kate Noble and Vice President Sarah Boses following the adoption of a Digital Wellness Resolution by the Board in December 2025. The district aims for responsible technology use while maintaining its commitment to student wellness through interactive learning experiences that reinforce positive behavior.
Card packs are scheduled for distribution across all schools on Tuesday, May 12. Beforehand, staff members, students, and families will receive information about the digital wellness campaign’s goals.
