Avon Hosting National Premiere of Film

Five years ago, Avon brought the revolutionary film Race to Nowhere to Connecticut for its first screening. The film caused parents and educators to look critically at America’s high-stress, high-stakes education culture, and prompted lively, ongoing discussions.

This month, Avon High School is proud to be a host site for the national premiere of Beyond Measure, the follow-up film to the documentary sensation that people are still talking about. The new film explores how communities responded to Race to Nowhere with creative solutions to the challenges posed by the first film.

Beyond Measure will be screened for ONE NIGHT ONLY on Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 7:00 pm in the Avon High School Auditorium; it is suitable for all ages and is a must-see for educators and parents of school-aged children.

Admission is free, courtesy of the Avon High School PTO, but seats must be reserved ahead of time.
