The Minnesota Elementary School Principals’ Association (MESPA) is
accepting proposals for focus sessions to be presented at the 2011 MESPA
Institute -- our annual statewide convention held February 9-11, 2011 at
the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel, Bloomington, MN.

2011 theme is “MESPA Loves to Read.” We are seeking proposals for concurrent 60-minute focus
sessions to be offered on Thursday, February 10, 2011.
