More DC Pics

Sorry, I don't have the names of everyone from the Tennessee delegation. Denise will provide them soon and I will update the post.

Sorry for the delay in postings

Most of you know, my mom was very ill this summer and being with her was the most important thing I did all summer! Thanks for the prayers as I deal with the loss of a wonderful mom!

Denise Hackett and Scott Apple were invited to a conference this summer as guests of NEA. The conference was in Washington, D.C. which is the national office of the NEA. Scott claimed all he did was go to meetings, but I have pictures to prove otherwise. They truly represented SCEA well!

Take a Survey

I received this message this morning from our illustrious TEA president Dr. Earl Wiman. So I'm passing it on to those of you who read the blog. Earl said, "Mr. Haslam is a Republican candidate for governor, please take his survey."

Here is the link. Let the candidate know what you think.

Look at your TEACH

At the back of this months TEACH, you will find a lovely article about the Rural Initiative Project. In addition to the article you will see a few familiar faces in the picture. It isn't Denise or I!

Duran asked each local to send members and we are proud to say that Becky H and Bonnie G met us for the day. In addition to our members, you will see the newly elected board member for our district, Beth from Grundy Co. This is the last month of my three year term and it is bittersweet!

I just want to say thanks for all the support.

RIP - Rural Initiative Project

Denise and Tracy are currently in training, we are actually the trainers! Isn't that scary. We are talking about how to blog and how to be involved in political action. We are in Cookeville and we are meeting with a bunch of other education associations.

Currently, there are six other associations at the meeting. We are having a train the trainer session right now and tomorrow morning we will have the big presentation.

Dannise McKinney is presenting on how to present. :)
