The Webster Hills UMC Youth Group would like to invite you to a special pre-release screening of Race to Nowhere on Saturday, November 19th at 7pm.
Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
I hope that you will join us as we engage in this important discussion! Tickets can be easily purchased at this website: http://www.racetonowhere.com/epostcard/5407.
