LADSE Mission Foundation Hosting ​Documentary Screening of
​NO SMALL MATTER
No Small Matter is the first feature documentary to explore the most overlooked, underestimated, and powerful force for change in America today: early childhood education.  Through poignant stories and surprising humor, the film lays out the overwhelming evidence for the importance of the first five years, and reveals how our failure to act on that evidence has resulted in an everyday crisis for American families, and a slow-motion catastrophe for the country.

Join us for a screening of No Small Matter, on Wednesday,  February 19,  6:30 p.m. at Park Junior High.  If you have friends, family, or student parents that you think would be interested, please pass on the information.  There is no charge for the event.
