We need just a few more states to complete our 50 STates Valentine Exchange. It works just like a postcard exchange except we exchange valentines. Please email me with your school address ASAP if you would like to join us or want more details. Thanks so much!
Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the head of the education committee. His name is Kent Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public education. There is a lady running against him this year who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb 21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the primary. Those of us who care about our children are asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or email their friends and family to ask them to vote for Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool, straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington, Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a great rest-of-the-year!

I am currently studying for an elementary credential in CO. I am interested in teaching in ND and was wondering: does anyone know of any good websites which list North Dakota jobs in education? I would appreciate it if you would list them. Mr. Chandler.
My mom is a sped teacher in ND and looking for resources on the effects of methamphetamine on kids. Recently six people were arrested in the town where she teaches (pop. 500) for cooking meth...there were seven children involved, most of them school aged. The children were displaying odd behavior before being taken by social services, but afterwards the behaviors intensified...they all tested positive for meth and so it is to be assumed that they were going through withdrawals. Anyone who has information, websites, books, journals, articles, etc containing information or if you are going through this yourself, please respond! Meth isn't just affecting the drugs users, it's affecting entire communites as well as children!
Please consider participating, and passing the invitation below on to you colleagues:
Opportunity to contribute to research on school bullying!
You are invited to participate in a research project to learn more about strategies used by teachers and counselors when faced with bullying incidents. This study is being conducted by Dr. Sheri Bauman, Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Arizona. If you are interested in contributing 10-15 minutes of your time to advance our understanding of this important international problem, please click on the link below. You will be asked for a password to ensure that only teachers and school counselors complete the survey. Please enter “ijime” (do not enter the quotation marks) when you are asked for your password.
This is an invitation to participate in a totally free event that will take place on September 11 and that will be, I believe, of special interest to teachers and librarians. As we are a public library in Illinois with absolutely no budget to give this event the publicity it deserves, we are hoping you will share the information with anyone you think might have an interest.
On September 11, 2006, the Bensenville Community Public Library District (a Chicago suburb) will present Marion Blumenthal Lazan live and in real time to anyone with an Internet connection. To participate, you merely install a small program (it loads in about 20 seconds), turn on your computer's speakers, then sit back and listen to Marion. If you also have a microphone attached to your computer, you will be able to speak with her and ask questions directly.
As a girl, Marion and her family were trapped in Hitler's Germany, and they spent six and a half years in refugee and concentration camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany. They were in a cattle car on their way to Auschwitz when they were finally liberated by Russian troops.
Now in her seventies, Marion is devoting the rest of her life to telling her story. She knows that in a few years there will be no Holocaust survivors left, yet what happened must never be forgotten. Her story does not dwell on the horror of what she experienced. Instead, her message is one of hope and optimism in the face of extraordinary hardship. She implores us to be kind to one another, to embrace diversity, to always retain hope, to respect one another, and to never look away from intolerance and cruelty. Could there be a more powerful or appropriate message on September 11?
Marion will speak to the children of the world on September 11, 2006, at 2:00 p.m., eastern time. She will speak for about 30 minutes, and she will then take questions. She will be speaking in an online auditorium, and there is no charge whatsoever to listen. Our hope is that thousands of children and their teachers will spend that hour on September 11 with Marion. She will tell a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Your students (and you) will be mesmerized and inspired.
For more information, including directions for registering for the program and logging onto the website where the online auditorium is located, please just reply to this message to: [email removed]].
If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to me, Bill Erbes, [email removed].
We believe there will be much interest in this event if only we can get the word out that it will be happening. Any help you can offer in spreading the message will be most appreciated.
Thank you.
Bill Erbes Assistant Library Director Bensenville Community Public Library District 200 S. Church Road Bensenville, IL 60106 (630) 766-4642
