Dear Park Ridge School Community:
The Pascack Valley School Districts have joined together once again to welcome our second annual speaker to the Pascack Valley Region!

Who: New York Times bestselling author and speaker, Jessica Lahey, author of “The Gift of Failure.”
What: In her talk, Jessica will summarize current research on autonomy-supportive parenting and teaching, competence, rewards, desirable difficulties, praise, failure and will offer parents practical advice for fostering self-motivation.
When: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 @ 7PM
Where: Pascack Valley High School Auditorium, 200 Piermont Ave., Hillsdale, NJ 07642
How: This event is free to the public and co-sponsored by the school districts of the Pascack Valley: Emerson, Westwood, Park Ridge, Hillsdale, Montvale, River Vale, Woodcliff Lake, and Pascack Valley Regional HS District.
