speaker series for parents
Join the Gower Foundation for Excellence in Education for a Parent Speaker Series focused on topics important to you. Our goal is to provide experts on the topics which are important to all of us as parents, especially as we navigate raising children in the 21st Century. Each session will be presented by Gower speakers engaged in work directly related to each topic. Each session will conclude with a Q&A by the Gower Administrative team and the incredible staff who can help speak to how our district is approaching these topics with our children. As always, we welcome any suggestions and feedback from you all. We look forward to seeing you virtually or at Gower Middle School for each of these interesting talks!
