When: Thursday, May 4th (this was previously on May 12th and has been changed*) 

Where: SFX Gym

Dress: Sunday Best 

Arrival Time: 6:00-6:10pm - Parents may enter the gym after 6:00pm. Doors will be locked at 6:30pm. Students should report to Joyce Hall.

NOTE from Mrs. Amy Ryan, our SFX Technology Coordinator: "Many of our SFX parents will remember hearing Dr. Devorah Heitner speak about technology and our "digital natives". SFX has had her host a virtual session last winter and also a standing-room-only event in January 2020. As part of the Glenbard Parent Speaker Series, Dr. Heitner is speaking on helping our kids navigate online privacy in an ever more public world."
