NSPAC October Newsletter Update

NSPAC October Newsletter

Dear NSPAC families,

We hope everyone has had an amazing start to the new school year. Since the beginning of the school year, NSPAC has been busy planning a year full of educational speakers, building connections through NSPAC and community meetings, and planning social events to connect neighbors and families. In fact, NSPAC supports over 1,000 families across our district. You can find stats here!

If you didn't get a chance to join our Parents Night Out or Coffee and Connect, we will have more events coming your way shortly.

As always, we're looking forward to connecting with you! Let us know how NSPAC can support your family. You can reach out to the NSPAC board by email with any questions or comments. We look forward to hearing from you!

Best,

NSPAC Board (Alyssa, Johanna, & Nikol)

Jonathan Mooney: Those Kids: Learning Outside the Lines

We are excited to host Jonathan Mooney, a widely sought after speaker whose work has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, HBO, NPR, among other publications, for a 40 minute presentation on Wednesday, November 2nd at 6:30 PM via webinar.

Jonathan Mooney was one of those kids. Diagnosed with dyslexia, he was one of the kids who couldn't sit still and spent elementary school chilling in the hallway with the janitor. He had low expectations surrounding him. But... he beat the odds, graduating from Brown University with an Honors degree in English Lit. Come listen to Jonathan's personal, humorous, and research based talk! Register here to join!
