Principal Martinez participates in the June Study Summit for Cahn Fellowship held this weekend in Los Angeles with principals from around the country. The learning never stops…@LASchools @LASchoolsNorth @ScottAtLAUSD

@audreyalison @LASchoolsNorth Hi Audrey,
Every school with a YS program is eligible to participate. Your YS staff member has access to tournament info. In most cases, they will need some help from either school staff or parents to get organized.
