It appears that the school year is off to an incredible start. Thanks for all you do to engage students in learning.

Head's Up

Decided to brand Wednesday visits to buildings - What's Up Wednesdays! Having a teen-aged daughter can affect your judgment. I'm heading out to Elm Tree and Ardis Ann this week.
First Friday's coming up on September 4 - this month's theme is Sugar Creek Days.
Mark your calendars for Tinkerfest at the Amazeum on October 10. Amazeum Field Trips start the week before Tinkerfest.
Start getting ready for EdcampNWA 2.0 October 17th.

Grants and PD

Not sure if KNWA will be doing the Brightest Classroom grants this year, but click the link to register. It can mean $500 for you to use in your classroom. We received a number of these last year.

Don't forget about Donor's Choose when looking for items to add to your classroom. When you sign up the link can be easily shared with the community. 

Thanks to all who participated in #bpseduchat last Tuesday. We had a great first day discussion. Next Tuesday, September 1st we're expecting a visit from AJ Juliani to discuss plans for innovation and student engagement. #bpseduchat is every other Tuesday at 8:30 pm
