Participants will experience firsthand the difficulties and frustrations encountered daily by people who have learning differences. This is the second in a series of seven required parent support meetings for new 2022-23 Shelton parents. First-time new Shelton parents received a SignUp Genius last week from Laura Berend. Please email Laura if you did not receive this or if you have questions. (Remember to check your SPAM.) This meeting is for adults only (parents, grandparents and older siblings — seventh grade and older). Childcare is not provided. Please be sure to use the Signup Genius to RSVP with the number of family members attending, as we need an accurate count of attendees for this presentation. While mandatory for new Shelton parents, all parents are welcome to attend. Please email Laura for SignUp information. Space is limited. The Signup deadline has been extended to Thursday, Oct. 6, at noon. |

YOU'RE INVITED TO A SCREENING OF THE FILM CONFETTI In honor of World Dyslexia Month in October, Shelton will screen Confetti, an award-winning movie about dyslexia on Monday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. in Shelton's Black Box Theatre. Confetti is written, produced and directed by award-winning New York-based filmmaker Ann Hu, based on her own experiences. The film illustrates the journey of a 9-year-old girl named Meimei, who moves with her mother, Lan, from their small town in China to New York City. Meimei has struggled to be accepted in her school and community, in part because no one has successfully noticed that she suffers from dyslexia. Lan braves the move to New York, but finding the right school proves to be even more difficult than she could have anticipated. The film, which is appropriate for children 14 and up, has screened at Yale University, Harvard University, Chicago Foundation for Education, Teachers College Columbia University, The National Center for Learning Disabilities and more. In addition, the film will screen for the British Dyslexia Association followed by an opening night premiere at BAFTA in London followed by a special Gala Dinner at the House of Lords. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion featuring parents Megan Carpenter, Jon Gross, Nellie Sciutto and Eric McGehearty and moderated by Shelton Executive Director Suzanne Stell. |
