Public Invited to Free Screening of 'Girl Rising' at Natick High School

Here are 5 things to know today in Natick.

1. Natick High School will host an exclusive screening of the groundbreaking film "Girl Rising" on Dec. 9.  

The film presents the remarkable stories of nine girls around the world, told by celebrated writers and voiced by renowned actors such as Meryl Streep and Salma Hayek.  

The film celebrates resiliency and the potential of girls everywhere. It also shows that when you educate a girl, you break cycles of poverty, oppression and violence.  

The screening is free of charge but donations will be accepted ($10 recommended) for the "Girl Rising" charities supporting girls' education globally.

If you didn't receive a letter and have a child who will be 5 by Aug. 31, 2014 and entering kindergarten next fall, contact Mrs. Cohen in the front office.

3. The Kennedy Middle School seventh-grade class is collecting warm, winter jackets for those in need now through January. They are accepting gently used, good quality coats that you'd perhaps give to a friend. All sizes needed - children and adults - especially need XL and Pre-K sizes.  Please drop your donations off to the lobby.
