Dear Northeast Music Educators,
We made it, or maybe a few of you have a bit more to go! Find time to get rejuvenated whatever that means for you!
If you are a new teacher or you know a new teacher near you you need to have them check into the MMEA Mentoring Conference. This conference is a great way to start your teaching career and make many connections with other new music teachers in the state. Your school district may have assigned you a mentor, but you also want to have someone that is in your field. You may also want to contact Lisa Dobbs, Mentoring Chair for the northeast district ldobbs@fayetteschool.org. If you are aware of any new teachers in the area we also ask you to pass their name along to Lisa.
Your NEMMEA Executive Board Officers are here to serve. Do not hesitate to contact them as you are preparing for events this school year.
Lets all work together to help the students of our NEMMEA have the best musical experiences we can offer! If you need anything at all please do not hesitate to contact me, my info is below!
