👋 Parents... quick question. 

Have you ever wished parenting came with a manual?

The truth is — it doesn't.

But this Friday night from 4-8:30 p.m. at Unity Junior High School, we are bringing you something pretty close.

Our speakers are here with us LIVE, each taking a few minutes to share what parents will learn in their workshop and why it matters for families right now.

Here's who you'll be hearing from:
🎤 Dr. Ferney Ramirez – “I Am a Teenager, Understand Me”
🎤 Salvador Mora – “The Invisible Inheritance: Trauma and Wounds”
🎤 Martha Cruz – “Raising Children Between Screens & Hugs in This Virtual World”
🎤 Lisa Wojcik – “Getting Ready for Kindergarten”
🎤 Ella Farmer – “A Road Map for Your Child in Special Education”
🎤 Cynthia Gutierrez, Mahliqua Azeem & Andrea Lacey – “Transitions Without Tears: Chair Yoga for Everybody”
🎤 Joe Berrios – “A Recipe for Your House”
🎤 Maylin Zacarias – “Cyberbullying & AI: Understanding & Prevention”
🎤 Ismael Vargas – “The Time of Change”
🎤 Bryan Martin – "Parent's Guide to Assistive Technology (AT): What's Under the AT Umbrella?

And remember — when you come Friday night, we’ve got everything covered:

🍽 FREE dinner
👧 Childcare with certified staff
🎁 Raffles & giveaways

Even if you can only stop by for a little while — we would love to see you.

Because you show up for your child every single day.

❤️ This night is about us showing up for YOU.
