Hi Area 2 Family!
I hope you are having a fabulous summer (and not checking this mail for at least another 2-3 weeks!), but I wanted to send a Welcome Back note, a reminder of a few important things and a request for help!
Welcome Back: I hope you have had a restful & rejuvenating summer; whether it has been spent with family, friends, on the couch, at the beach or at leadership camp, I hope you have had some time to take a break from the busy-ness of the school year! Remember, let’s always keep each other in mind when we are in need of ideas, expertise, lessons and activities. Within our Area we have such knowledge, expertise and energy we can utilize as a great collaborative group!
Reminder: Don’t forget to request the conference days off early and get your subs locked in so you can join us again for an awesome 2016 conference. President Becky Latham is bringing us back to the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick. Conference dates are March 9-11th and the theme is: For the Love of the Game. If you had to leave early, or want to check out the promo short video again, here is the site link: http://www.wacaonline.org/conference-2016.html Also, check out the new look of the site! Ryan Healy (our web-master) is a total rockstar and continues to make edits to the site, nearly daily. There are tons of resources to enjoy and places for you to post lesson plans and videos if you have some to share. Also, if you find any links or glitches on the site that don’t seem to be working quite right, let me know- and we will get it fixed right away.
Don’t forget to register early and book a hotel room at the convention center!
Looking forward to seeing you at WACA 2016: For the Love of the Game!
Request: Lastly: 2 things- Please click the surveymonkey link below if you have not had a chance to fill it out and give us some feedback on the 2015 conference. The board takes this feedback and discusses all the ways we can improve the conference, so your feedback is needed and appreciated! And, if you have thought of anything that you would be willing to present in a 50 min session or in a meet the pros (10 min) session next year, please consider doing so, and let me know early so we can get you set up! It is always awesome to have some area 2 presenters (we had some last year: Brenda Conrad and Sally Rusk just to name a couple!) and, it is fun!
Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WACA15
Thanks again for being an active and important part of Area 2, enjoy the rest of summer and be in touch any time I can be of help this year!
