My name is Jean-Paul Rochon, the current President of Manitoba Association of Secondary Teachers of At-Risk Students. We are hosting a one-day conference on Oct. 22, 2004, in Winnipeg at Canad Inns Fort Garry. The conference “The Power of One – Making a Difference” will feature Dr. Stephen Sroka, an internationally recognized speaker, trainer, author, teacher and educational consultant on sex, drugs and violence education. Dr. Sroka integrates cutting-edge research, humor and inspiring real- life stories to facilitate learning about student’s mental, emotional, social and physical health needs and issues. As well, comedian Dean Jenkinson and RB Russell High Community Action Theatre (At Risk Student program) will share the day. Cost for the conference, including continental breakfast and served hot lunch, is $70 Canadian.
It would be great to meet some of our southern neighbors to discuss issues and strategies!
I look forward to hearing from you.
J-P Rochon
p.s. Feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested. Thanks

I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD becoming a member of an established international post card exchange? If yes, please let me know. I am the organizer of an established international post card exchange. WE HAVE NEVER had a participant from your state and we would LOVE to have an opportunity to exchange post cards with you! I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks! :o)
The following states are still needed to complete our Postcard Exchange: AL, AK, CO, CT, DE, DC, IA, KS, KY, ME, MD, MN, MT, NV, NH, ND, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY
If you are interested, please e-mail me your school address. We would love to have you. To find out more about the Postcard Exchange, read on.
I teach 5th grade and find that a postcard exchange ties in well as a geography review, as well as writing--the format of a postcard.
If you choose to join, your job will be to send each participant a postcard. Usually I have my class create one postcard and then photocopy and glue it on individual postcards. In the letter we include information about our state and our school.
Then when we receive the various cards from other states we display them on a bulletin board. I put a U.S. map on the wall and everytime I receive a card we put a pin in that city/state and attach the postcard.
My students love receiving the postcards. They have an opportunity to learn little things about states and schools.
At the end of the summer I will be e-mailing all of the participants a list of addresses that will be involved in the exchange. Usually we have about 30 states, I would love to get all 50 states, but I haven't had that happen yet. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you are interested so I can add your state to our list.
Last year we were never able to get someone to represent your state, and would LOVE to have someone this year. It's fun and educational, too. You would have to commit your class to send approximately 49 postcards during the year, and you would receive that many in return. Email me for more details.
Hi, I am Miss M, a 5th grade teacher, from MS. Your state is needed for a K-6 postcard exchange. We'll only be accepting one address from each state. Please keep in mind that you will be responsible for sending a postcard representing your state to all of the 49 states on the list. I will send you a list of all teachers participating in September. The list will close on September 30 or as soon as we have all 50 states. Help me spread the word! We will mail out postcards the month of October. IF you are interested please email me at [email removed].
