There are great stressors in our young students’ worlds today and having the tools to stay motivated, to understand that failure is an important tool for learning and growth, and that self-care must take priority is an important message that we need to share with these wonderful young people. We are thrilled to present such outstanding, successful women in a wide variety of fields who can share their pathway to success and what it took to get there.”  Those interested in attending can register at wisheducationfoundation.org under events. There will be a light breakfast and snacks served at the event. Questions can be directed to [email protected].  Established in 2011, the nonprofit WiSH “bridges the gap” in state funding for education, program resources and supplies for the over 21,000 students in the William S. Hart Union High School District.  The post WiSH Education Foundation, Soroptimist International collaborate on ‘ASCEND’   appeared first on Santa Clarita Valley Signal.
