The Women's Wellness Summit, hosted by the Office of Federal Programs & Grants, was a huge success on March 27, 2024. NBOE women, dedicated parents and caregivers, came together for a day filled with inspiring conversations, educational workshops, and health screenings. The event emphasized the importance of self-care, ensuring that women are able to take care of themselves in order to better support their children.
Partnering with University Hospital, attendees were able to receive free vision, mammograms, and diabetic screenings. The Office of Early Childhood and The Office of Language Arts also highlighted the importance of reading to children daily, providing books to encourage reading at home. This event strengthened partnerships within the community and reinforced the District's commitment to supporting families in Newark.
