Representative Assembly 2026 is in the books ... and congrats to the entire Wyoming delegation for representing our state at the national level!

From WEA President Kim Amen:

"These educators chose to spend their summer doing the hard work of democracy because they know public education is the great equalizer. They understand that if we don’t stand up for our students, our schools, and our profession, no one else will.

"The work isn’t easy, but it’s important. Thank you to every Wyoming delegate for giving your time, your voice, and your heart to this work. It is an honor to stand alongside you in the fight for Wyoming’s public schools.

It's the first week of July, so that means the national Representative Assembly is in full swing! And this year, WEA has a Student President to represent all the aspiring educators across Wyoming. Thomas VanOverbeke and Lisa Herold (SW Region Uniserv Director and Student Liaison) are more than ready to fight for our public schools, to strengthen membership across the state, and to help ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE!

Hey Wyoming educators: Our friends at California Casualty are giving away $300 individual music and arts grants to support classroom projects and programs. But hurry - the application deadline is July 15! Learn more at www.calcasmusicartsgrant.com

Wishing all of you a safe and festive holiday weekend! WEA offices will reopen on Monday, July 6.

It's the annual Wyoming Pupil Transportation Conference! We've got Education Support Professionals and WEA Staff on hand not just to table, but to present at this event. Couldn't be more honored to connect with these individuals who do so much for students and public schools across Wyoming!
