A Principal’s Breakfast is planned for September 22, 2006. PMSA’s Jim Smoyer will speak at this event highlighting the organization, member benefits, and the middle school philosophy.
A Mini-Conference is planned for October 23, 2006. The evening will begin with networking opportunities, followed by dinner and a presentation by Rick Wormeli. This evening is sure to be both informative and entertaining! |
