Another Movie Opportunity, This One for Middle School Girls


   A parent sent me some information about a great opportunity coming up next week (Thanks, Julie!). Blank Children's Hospital is presenting a showing of the documentary "Finding Kind" at Hoyt Sherman Auditorium on May 8th from 6 to 8:30 p.m. This showing is for middle school girls and allows them an opportunity to meet the film's two female directors as well! And best of all...the event is FREE! When I first got the information, I tried to do some research on the film, but did not find a lot out there, but did find their website and watched the trailer. It looks like a great movie and one that really, truly addresses the "mean girl" behavior and searches for solutions with young girls leading these solutions. It appears to have a very positive message. I have placed two links below with more information. One is the registration page where you can sign your daughter up and even yourself, the other is the movie's website where you can play the movie trailer to see for yourself what the movie is all about. I also cut/paste the basic information from the Blank Children's Hospital page. I would love to hear a review if you go....please comment on this blog with your review or email me (ben.barry@carlisle.k12.ia.us).

"Tuesday, May 8 - Hoyt Sherman Auditorium - 6-8:30 P.M.
