Dear Friends:
Below is a summary of programming for the new academic year of 2016-2017. In view of the 2016 Presidential Election, we are having a special event on October 20th “How Politics Really Works: An Insider’s View.” We will be joined by local politicians who will share with students their insights about how the political process actually works. (Open to the public/see below). This year we are also launching our first professional development seminar to enhance teaching at the local secondary level.
Please know that to continue these exciting programs, we need your support. Donations can be made to our website.
Also for your information, is our Strategic Plan that provides our vision and specific programming goals.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me or my assistant Ms. Cassandra Shellman. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
