President Obama to address the importance of working hard in school
President Obama will deliver a national address to students across the nation on Tuesday, September 8 at 9 a.m. President Obama is addressing an issue educators throughout America talk about on a daily basis. He will challenge students to work hard, set education goals, and take responsibility for their learning.

Showing the video speech will be an option for teachers in Walla Walla Public Schools. If teachers choose to show it, they are encouraged to lead a discussion following the speech to further address the issue of working hard in school. The Department of Education has many age-appropriate activities available to teachers to support this effort. Parents are also encouraged to visit the classroom and watch the video with their child.

Parents who don't want their children to watch the speech, may simply request they opt out and participate in another school activity.
