• Pathways Music Fest, in partnership with Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation: a safe and fun Friday night offering for middle schoolers
• Playshop, with Jeff and Lee Franklin: a workshop exploring the benefits of imaginative play on healthy brain development
• ​Challenge Success survey at Severna Park Middle School, a tool that is designed to help schools make data-driven decisions to improve student well-being and engagement in learning.
• Our kick-off event was a well-attended panel discussion of clergy, coaches and community members.
