WPHA Education Forum/Annual Meeting

Tuesday, October 10th   6:30 p.m.

Broadway United Methodist Church

 

WPHA is holding an education forum as the main focus of our annual meeting this year. We encourage everyone with and without children to attend, since the quality of local schools is the number one factor that most significantly affects our property values, not to mention the future of our community. Today’s child is tomorrow’s leader.

 

We’ve invited both public and private schools to send a representative to speak very briefly on their school during our meeting.  They will also be available before the meeting to pass out literature to interested residents, and to be available to answer questions. We are pleased that so many of the schools responded favorably to our invitation.  The schools which we invited are these.
