Out of 30,000 entries that were created, only 500 moved on to the State level. Of those, 120 entries received State recognition, one of which was by
one of our very own Dragons

Way to go, Brenna!

PTA Advocacy Day for Education – Register to Attend
|
PTA’s mission says that we work to “positively impact the lives of all children and families.” This includes a positive school climate and the social-emotional well-being of all students. If children are facing major challenges at home, in their neighborhoods, and in their broader communities, it is more challenging for them to learn, grow and succeed in school.
This year’s Advocacy Day for Education will focus on social-emotional well-being issues in schools and in the community, and how we might address those issues together. Please join parents, educators, elected officials, and community members for an informative and thought-provoking day as we explore topics related to school climate and social-emotional well-being, including stress and anxiety, mental health and suicide prevention.
Friday, April 12, 9:00am – 2:30pm
San Ramon Community Center, Fountain Room
12501 Alcosta Blvd, San Ramon
The event includes expert speakers in social-emotional well-being and mental health and will provide local resources for parents and students. Superintendents from San Ramon Valley, Pleasanton, Lamorinda school districts, as well as the Alameda and Contra Costa County Offices of Education, will share the major concerns in their districts. Additionally, a local parent associated with the NAMI-Contra Costa County will share his personal perspective and experience.
