Tween Track
If you are bringing a group of students for the Tween track, you may choose to attend classes with your students, but you cannot leave your students once your Tween track has started. If you choose to attend the Educator Track while your tween students attend classes, please know that our volunteers, teachers, and staff will take good care of your students and you are free to attend those classes instead, but you cannot come back into the Tween track once it has started.

PHOTO DISCLAIMER 

Photos will be taken at the event. By attending you agree to have your photo taken. If a photographer is taking pictures of you directly, you may let them know you don't wish to be photographed, but group setting photos are a possibility. The images captured may be shared for Operation Literacy promotional purposes only, and will not be shared outside of that purpose.
