Raising Adolescents in a Complex World: What Middle Schoolers Need Most to Thrive
Featuring Dr. Toya Holiday
The middle school environment shapes your child's friendships, motivation, and well-being. You don't want them to just "get through" it—you want them to thrive in it.
Join us for an illuminating evening with Dr. Toya Holiday, a nationally respected educator, DEIJ leader, and former championship coach. She shares what research shows middle schoolers need to succeed today.
Dr. Holiday will explore:
- The pillars every adolescent needs for healthy growth.
- How belonging shapes academic success.
- Strategies for supporting confidence and executive functioning.
- Why the right school environment changes everything.
Every child deserves to feel capable, confident, and connected. In the right environment, middle school becomes the moment they discover their voice, their strengths, and who they can become.
