| 1. | NYSSBA Convention - Your conference information is included in this mailing. We are all staying at the same hotel. It appears to be a great convention with plenty of useful programs. I need to leave for a while on Saturday in order to attend an Eagle Scout induction ceremony. Lets meet briefly on Thursday night to coordinate things. | |
| 2. | Wayne County Mail - Enclosed are a couple of outstanding articles from the Mail. The first one on our recent staff development day was well done and answers the often asked question, “what do teachers do on those staff development days’. The second one is an editorial that was very interesting. I believe that Patrick raised some important points that were boiling below the surface and tended to rise up when I presented in Walworth. The Walworth recreation director’s letter was an example of what Patrick was saying. I was never very successful at countering those feelings. | |
