Area Meetings ’08-’09
Southeast Area Principals
2008-2009
Dear Area 1 Principals,
Thank you for attending
today's meeting in Sioux Falls. If you didn't get a chance to make it today, we
look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on October 16th. John Pederson
from SASD will be our guest speaker next month. Thank you to the ESA today for
their presentation on Blogs and Wikis.
If you want to participate in
the book talk, we are going to read the through chapter 6 for our next meeting in
"Make Today Count". We hope to do "Make Today Count" before
the Winter Break and then we will read "Ethics 101" after the break.
If you want to participate and would like us to order the books please let Kim
Aman (Bridgewater), there are two Kim Amans, know and she can order them for
you.
It was great to see so many
today! We look forward to seeing you all in October.
P.S. Remember that if you have
an aspiring principal that you would like Area 1 to sponsor this year please
let us know by sending either myself or Kim Aman an email.
Thank You,
Ryan Nielsen
