MILTON, Ga., March 28, 2014 - Don't forget that the Milton Community Alliance for Mental Wellness, a collaborative effort of Fulton County Schools and the City of Milton, among others, is sponsoring the last of two screenings of the award-winning documentary "Race to Nowhere," Sunday, March 30 at Milton Center in Alpharetta.
"Race to Nowhere" highlights the unintended consequences of our pressure-cooker culture. It features heart-breaking stories of students across the country, revealing an education system in which overall workload and achievement expectations have become unreasonable and unmanageable.
Screening:
Sunday, March 30
4 to 6 p.m.
Milton Center (old Milton High School Theater)
Doors open at 3:30 p.m.
Cost and tickets
Advance tickets are $5 and $10 at the door. Students and staff will be admitted free with a student or Fulton County Schools ID. For advanced ticket sales to the Milton Center showing, click here. Proceeds will go to the "Will to Live Foundation", which is dedicated to preventing teen suicide by improving the lives and the "will to live" of teenagers everywhere through education about mental health.
