Middle School Division - OAEA

What a great conference! It was great to see all of you this weekend. So many great ideas, reunions of friends and creative moments.
I wanted to let you know too that we did have someone step up to become our next Middiv chair. Starting January 1, 2025, the new Middle School division chair will be Julie Rathje from central region. Thank you all again for a great meeting at conference. Please feel free to reach out to me with ideas for workshops or meet ups or anything else that you’d like to do. Also, keep us posted if there are events, etc. that you think would be beneficial for all middle school teachers.

I can’t wait to see all of you this week at conference!
Please consider nominating someone for the state Middle School Division Award.
We also are in need of a new Middle School Division Chair.. The term is two years. The current chairs position ends this year.

Message me if you have a nominee for the award or if you’re interested in the chair position.

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 4 is the last day for early bird registration for the state OAEA conference. We can't wait to see you there!
