There will be a screening of the documentary The Homestretch, at the library during long block on Wednesday, 3/30. The Homestretch follows three homeless teens as they fight to stay in school, graduate, and build a future. Curious? Watch the trailer here! For those that can't make the screening during long block, there will be a screening and discussion after school on 3/30 as well. All are welcome!
