Upcoming Events
Next Meeting - Thursday, September 3rd, 6:00 PM
Welcome Back! I hope this newsletter finds you all doing well.
Our first meeting of the year will be held on September 3rd in the
Fireside Room at Springhill Baptist Church. A light dinner will be
served. Please bring, with you, items suitable for a new teacher to
start her classroom (i.e. resource books, office supplies, construction
paper, bordette, etc.) We will be hosting a New Teacher Open
House, for our October meeting, in a continued effort to support
new teachers in our area.
A little food for thought before I sign off: think of how you can
serve your chapter by being an officer. Remember, being a leader
educator is why you were chosen for membership See you soon!
Roses, Laura
