Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!!! Thank you for all that you do for our students!!!
Leadership in Writing Institute: I've send out information prior; however, if you want to participate in this event and want tuition reimbursement it needs to be completed by tomorrow, Friday, May 11th.
This leadership in Writing Institute is going to be a great opportunity to hear from national speakers including the young author and speaker Adora Svitak. She is coming to participate in the conference and will write her key note after spending the time to listen and talk with the teachers in the sessions. She is an amazing person! Here is a link to her presentation addressing educators and a link to her published book.
Cost: $79
Includes Friday evening with
Frank Serafini and a full-day
conference Saturday for administrators,
coaches, and teachers.
(Discounts will be available)If you want to attend please contact me ASAP and I will send the Registration Form and Licensed request for Reimbursement to you and you can do this online.
