"Race to Nowhere" film presentation

Race to Nowhere at LCDS May 10 at 7:00pm

The movie that is taking the country by storm, Race to Nowhere, will be available to the public for viewing at 7:00pm on Tuesday evening, May 10, at Loudoun Country Day School in Leesburg, Virginia.

Concerned mother and filmmaker, Vicki Abelese, aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children's lives, creating unhealthy, disengaged, unprepared, and stressed-out youth.

Race to Nowhere is a call to action to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens. After seeing the film, your views on education will forever be changed. "Every once in a while, a film comes along that has the potential to change the culture," said New York Times bestselling author Rachel Simmons (Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Agression in Girls). Race to Nowhereshines a light on the crisis of learning and meaning facing American education. The film is both a call to arms and a beacon of hope, a source of relief and outrage and a way forward for all of us." 

Tickets may be purchased in advance for $10 online at http://rtnloudouncountryday.eventbrite.com/ or for $15 at the door unless sold out.
