The event will focus on empowering students and parents to discover what they care about, what they need to learn, how to share information and how to get involved in the community. Attendees will also hear from a guest speaker, Santa Clara County Poet Laureate Mike McGee. 

There will be a community resource fair and several parent-led reading and writing workshops.
