    • Meet Your Match Mixer and Partner in Education PiE Champion Awards
    • Reno+Sparks Chamber of Commerce, 4065 South Virginia St., Suite 101, Reno, NV 89502

    • 8:00am to Noon Shadow in schools and/or businesses

For half a day, community leaders learn what it is like to be a School Principal or Administrator in the Washoe County School District and about the 61,000+ students and 3,900 educators they serve. Community leaders see first-hand what education looks and feels like in our community and share ideas to strengthen existing or build long-term partnerships!

After spending the morning together, educators and community leaders gather for lunch to discuss their experiences. Our warmest thanks to Ann Silver and the Reno+Sparks Chamber of Commerce for hosting the Meet Your Match wine and cheese mixer the evening before as we presented the annual Partner in Education PiE Champion Awards to the outstanding businesses and organizations who support education!
