About this Event
The Film
Join us for a free screening of MR. ADVOCATE and a community conversation about speaking up for our kids and taking care of ourselves.
🎥 MR. ADVOCATE film: When a new teacher’s AI show turns a test-obsessed school upside down, his principal makes it clear that innovation is welcome as long as it doesn’t change anything.
The Conversation
