We’d like to remind you that the Parenting Center Speaker Series with Paul Tough is on for Monday, November 12th at 7:15pm at Clinton School. His book, How Children Succeed, is a best seller and hot media topic, so this should be a great event. It is free and open to the public, and we’d love to have a strong Clinton School showing, we hope you can make it.
