Dear Northern Division Colleagues, I want to let you know it is my privilege and honor to serve as your Northern Division President. I am working to schedule programs and get dates set for you all.
Our first meeting with be on Friday, October 24, at Mahnomen for Roger Aronson's legal seminar. The other meetings will be at the Pepper Corn Restaurant in Bemidji. MESPA Executive Director Fred Stori will speak at our April meeting.
Typically in the past, we have met in November, January, and April. What works for you all? Would you like to meet those three months or condense those meetings into two? Which one is the most difficult for you to make? What suggestions for programs / speakers would be meaningful to you as principals? Are you interested in a book study? Lastly, how many of you must use your staff development budget allowance to attend these meetings? I know you have a wealth of knowledge and would appreciate your feedback!
I look forward to hearing from you!
Your colleague, Joleen De La Hunt President, MESPA Northern Division Principal, Menahga Elementary 216 Aspen Avenue; Menahga, MN 56464 218-564-4141 ext. 401 jdelahunt@menahga.k12.mn.us
"It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts...it is to teach them to think, if that is possible, and always to think for themselves." -- Robert Hutchins
