RACE TO NOWHERE
Sandy Springs Screening

March 6, 2011 - Sandy Springs, GA - Sandy Springs Education Force (SSEF) will be screening Race To Nowhere at Riverwood International Charter High School on March 24, 2011 and March 25, 2011. Sandy Springs teachers and administrators can attend the movie at no cost on March 24th. Sandy Springs parents and community members can attend the movie for $10 by purchasing online (link below). Tickets purchased at the door will be $15. Funds raised will benefit Sandy Springs Public Schools.

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.

Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
