What does it take to be ready when you discover what you really want to do?
Nationally recognized speaker and bestselling author Mark C. Perna challenged Old Saybrook students in grades 8 through 12 to start building that foundation now.
Perna encouraged students to create their own competitive advantage through the accumulation of academic, technical, and personal skills. His message focused on preparing for future opportunities, making purposeful choices, and developing the skills needed to succeed while building a life that is authentic to who they are.
It was a powerful connection to the work happening throughout OSPS as students explore their interests, strengthen their skills, and begin thinking about the paths they may choose beyond school.
Join us for a special evening with nationally recognized speaker, bestselling author, and generational expert Mark C. Perna.
Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations will challenge us to think differently about how we connect with, motivate, and support the young people in our lives.
