Happy New Year Area 4!
I hope the New Year finds you rested, refreshed, and excited for the 2015 WACA Conference!
This year’s theme is Ordinary Heroes. Our conference will be held at the Yakima Convention Center March 11th-13th, 2015. Registration is open at www.wacaonline.org. The online registration is very easy. All you do is point, click, and type. Then fax your PO to the number listed! So simple it will only take you five minutes!
If you have never attended the WACA conference, I hope you will make the trip this year. It has been one of the most valuable events I have participated in as a leadership teacher and class advisor. It’s also a great opportunity to catch up with friends, make new ones, and get great ideas to bring back to your school! Register today! I can’t wait to see you all there!
We are looking for conference presenters and I know that several of you have a wealth of knowledge to share with others. If you have a great lesson or activity, please consider sharing it with the delegates. This can be a short Meet the Pros session (just 10 minutes, wow!) or a longer breakout session (50 minutes, just like class!). If you are interested, please click the link onwww.wacaonline.org. We learn so much from our wonderful presenters each year and I am always excited to find new and different ideas from these sessions. I hope you all will consider presenting!
Finally, we are still in need of nominations for our Hall of Fame award. Please take a minute to think if you know someone who has given of themselves for leadership. It could be a former teacher or co-worker who has gone above and beyond for his or her school and students. If you know of someone, please nominate him or her at www.wacaonline.org . Nominations are due by Friday, January 9th!
Here’s wishing you a Happy New Year, and hoping that we have the largest representation EVER from Area 4 at WACA 2015!
