It Takes A Village (ITAV), Mill Valley, CA, is a district-wide Parent Teacher Association led by parent representatives from every school, teachers, administrators, and special support representatives.  Its goals and functions are providing parent education, community building through peer parent support, opportunities for children with special needs to connect, and support for social and educational initiatives. 

My presentation at the Mill Valley Middle School Public Library was organized by Oshik Maoz-Metzi, Executive Chair of Parent Education at ITAV, and my participation was arranged by Lindsay Marcus, Education Program Coordinator at JFCS Holocaust Center.
