Next week, St. Catherine School’s Parent Club is inviting you to join them as they take an up-close look at America’s school system during a film screening of “Race To Nowhere“:
“Race To Nowhere” features 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.
The film begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, in the Victoria Hall at St. Catherine School, 8524 Eighth Ave. N.E. After the screening, a discussion will be facilitated by Jenell Kheriaty, student counselor at Seattle Preparatory School. Tickets are $10 in advance at Event Brite or $15 at the door.
