Program Description

Event Details

The White Salmon Valley Community Library and ESD 112 Prevention invite everyone to a free screening of this award winning film. 

KPJR Films documentary Paper Tigers follows six troubled teens over the course of a year at Lincoln Alternative High School in rural Walla Walla, Washington. Lincoln’s staff radically changed their approach to disciplining their students, becoming a promising model for how to break the cycles of poverty, violence and disease that affect families. The film is a testament to what the latest developmental science is proving: that one caring adult can help break the cycle of adversity in a young person's life.

Following the film will be a facilitated discussion and refreshments provided by Friends of the White Salmon Valley Community Library.
