We MAMLEs hope you are enjoying this lovely summer we’re having. The many, many bright sunny days have allowed us to bask in the warmth of the sun this year. However we know the mornings will soon grow a little chillier, and that’s the signal to switch our brains from play mode to planning our best school year ever.
Add zing to your year by attending the MAMLE Annual Conference on October 20-21st at Point Lookout in Northport. You will…
- Explore major issues facing every middle grades school.
- Network with colleagues from across the state to exchange ideas.
- Experience interactive sessions that provide specific strategies for making learning authentic.
- Hear two inspirational keynote speakers who, just like us, are in the classroom everyday.
