Book Talk 

Join LHS Psychologist Anna Brown and Social Worker Jordan Payne for an engaging parent conversation on Jennifer Wallace’s book, Never Enough. Never Enough “takes readers on a journey into the heart of toxic achievement culture and offers practical, actionable solutions for families, schools and communities.” 

Wallace concludes that “kids who receive feedback that they matter, no matter what, are more likely to have the resilience, self-confidence and psychological security to survive.” Jennifer Wallace is an award-winning journalist who began her career at 60 Minutes and contributes to the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. Mark your calendar for Fri, March 28 at 9 am in the Lecture Hall

RSVP to LHS Family Liaison Julie Zimmerman Hohl at jbzimmerman@fcps.edu if you are able to attend.
