Elkhart’s Lerner Theatre presents a showing of the film Rise Above the Mark.  This documentary “gives a glimpse inside America’s classrooms and the struggles teachers and students experience as increased legislation, standardized testing - create rote learning and heartbreaking time constraints”.
 
Educators often find themselves being criticized and targeted for the perceived state of public education in America.  Rise above The Mark focuses on Indiana’s struggles with public school reforms and also promises to provide us with accurate information to share with our local legislators during this current session.
 
The attached flyer includes a voucher that will be collected the night of the showing in order to provide an official head count for the Lerner.  Please print it and bring it with you to the event.  Vouchers will also be available at the door.
 
If possible please plan to attend this county-wide event. Feel free to share this information with others who have a vested interest in supporting public education…”where our improved future begins today.”
