Race to Nowhere

Sunday, March 25th, 4:00 p.m. at The Dolce Palisades (IBM Conference Center), the South Orangetown libraries (Blauvelt, Orangeburg, Palisades, Piermont, Tappan) will sponsor a screening of the award-winning documentary film Race to Nowhere, followed by a Q & A with SOCSD Superintendent, Dr. Mitchell.

Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace; students are disengaged; stress-related illness and depression are rampant; and many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.

Race to Nowhere is a call to action for 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.
