Gale Ranch Middle School
San Ramon, CA
9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

She’s All That! is an exciting and distinctive that past participants have said should be mandatory for all middle-school aged girls. "I think it's great that the girls are getting this attention and information - that there are people in the community who care enough about the girls to do this for them" was the feedback from one parent last year. Another mentioned that she and her daughter waited a year to participate and it was "everything I could have hoped for."

This special conference includes an inspirational keynote presentation and a choice of three of the seventeen available workshops for girls. Our popular “Live Your Dream!” Expo will include numerous informational exhibits again this year. The Adult workshop offerings have been expanded and parents may attend two of the four offered.

Pre-registration is required
$25 before January 15, 2009
$30 after January 15, 2009
