Meeting summary from Curt Carpenter, West Suburban Membership Representative: "Thanks for a WONDERFUL MESPA West Suburban Division meeting on Dec. 9. As usual, Lifetouch was a fantastic host. We had about 20 members join us for a time of sharing and camaraderie. This poster, from Ann Swanson, showing how her classrooms show teamwork and unity against bullying, was just one of the many great ideas shared at our meeting. Have an awesome holiday season everyone!"
