Seminar and Required Online Trainings

You're now into your third week with MMSD and things are cruising along. Congratulations! You may feel excited, overwhelmed, nervous, confused, energized, and any combination of these. It's all normal!

This blog is for YOU. I'll use it to post resources, updates, and important information. Feel free to browse last year's posts, too. You may find them helpful.

First, I want to make sure you register for the New Educator Seminar on Wednesday, September 30. Here's a link to the official flyer. You can register by clicking here. There will be lots of colleagues, awesome learning, and a fabulous light dinner. See you there!
