GPS Parent Series to host film screening with ‘Best Buddies’

The GPS Parent Series: Navigating Healthy Families will host an evening with “Best Buddies” with a film screening of “Saving Superman” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, at Glenbard West High School, 670 Crescent Blvd. in Glen Ellyn. Go to the GPS Parent Series website, gpsparentseries.org/events/best-buddies/, for information.

Jonathan, also known as Superman, lives in the Glen Ellyn community. He has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and is well-known for his heroic actions. He is a revered member of the community and has been a staple in their Fourth of July parade for nearly 30 years. When Jonathan faced the possibility of his living conditions changing when his building had a new owner, the townspeople started a fundraiser to save his home.
