Greetings!
You are cordially invited to join KCKPS and a host of Kansas City area professionals on Wednesday, April 27, at the Schlagle High School Auditorium, for a special screening of the new education documentary, Most Likely to Succeed, based on the book by the same title. Doors open at 5:00pm, hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be provided. The screening will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. Please plan to stick around after the screening for a short panel discussion.
Sal Khan from Khan Academy said, “the 21st century is going to be all about building, creating, and innovating. This remarkable film shows a path of how we can empower all of our children to do that.” For more information on the movie, please visit http://mltsfilm.org/.
