We’ll first hear a presentation from Dr. Tessa Charlesworth, a researcher at Harvard who studies how
and why beliefs and attitudes about different social groups can change. Her presentation will
provide an overview of bias in society with respect to various social groups and explore what
research tells us are the best interventions to shift the biases of a society, organization, and
individual. Q&A and then a community discussion to follow.
It’s Back! And it’s happening from March 25th thru April 2nd.

Since 1993, Kindergarten Soccer has been introducing children to soccer in a fun and non-competitive environment where girls and boys develop friendships, learn teamwork and gain confidence.
We play on Saturday mornings at the Oak Hill Middle School fields, starting April 29th and will run for six (6) weeks.
Game times are based on school assignment and will be communicated after teams are created (in early April).
Kindergarten Soccer is a program created and hosted by the Zervas Elementary School PTO since 1993.

Newton’s One-to-One Program, our very own “big brother/sister program” has been matching wonderful high schoolers with children in grades one through five for over 40 years. If you think your elementary-aged child would benefit from a mentor in their life and you can commit 2 hours each week to have your child meet with a high school mentor from November to May – you should contact us.
