Thank you to Ben Geilhufe for an informative and heart-felt Parent Education evening last week. I’m sorry there were schedule conflicts for some of you. Please know that when we arranged the date, the MMS volleyball matches were not yet on the calendar.
Ben has granted us permission to post his power point presentation for our families only. He states, “If other community members have questions or are seeking information, please direct them to me!” The link to his presentation will be included in the April 25th edition of eNews that is emailed to all families.
Thank you. Click here for more education resources from Gender Spectrum.
Thank you to all who attended the evening and shared their thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Best wishes,
Jivanti
