Hello Parents,

Come Join us for a day of Food, Fun, & Learning.  Workshops will be offered for both students & parents

Parent Topics include: Bullying & Cyber Bullying, Gang Awareness, The Common Core Learning Standards, Technology Resources for Parents (monitoring your Children, Homework help, ipad apps etc.)

Student Topics include: CPR Training, Dance, Photography, Organizational Skills, & More.

We will also have a dynamic speaker, Principal Baruti K. Kafele  who will be speaking to parents.
"In these times of crisis-level drop-out rates, suspension rates and low academic performance, Principal Kafele brings to his audiences an empowering message of attitude transformation. What sets him apart from so many other presenters is that not only does he talk about what works – he lived it as the leader of four urban public schools for fourteen years as a popular award-winning principal in New Jersey. He knows what it takes to transform struggling low-performing schools into successful high-performing schools because he has done it. His message is therefore authentic, relevant, inspiring, reinvigorating, thought-provoking and candid. He inspires his audiences to expect nothing less than excellence”
 
Date: Saturday March 9th 2013
