We are working with local and state media companies to maximize our potential to reach any and all schools or communities that want to participate. We’ll release a media guide and “on-line” instructions beginning in January to walk everyone”through the process” of getting registered and rehearsed for PD’19! The theme for PD’19 is “Exercise Leadership.”
