Bargaining, Red on Wednesday, Voter Registration, Teacher of the Year, Eleanor & Park Response

Next Bargaining Session Wednesday, October 2nd, 4:45 pm, AHEM Office: Our next session will include our proposal on class size and caseload issues and a response to the district's last economic offer. Hope to see you there!

Red for Ed on Wednesdays: Remember to wear red on Wednesdays to show your support for our bargaining process and public education in general!

Online Voter Registration: You can finally register to vote in Minnesota online!  If you need to update  your voter registration or register to vote for the first time, all you need to do is fill out an very short form at https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/VoterRegistration/VoterRegistrationStep1.aspx . Want to double check that your registered so you can vote this November 5th? You can do that there as well.

Teacher of the Year: Teacher of the Year nominations open October 1st.  It takes just a few minutes to nominate a colleague. Even if your nominee chooses not to go on with the process, your compliment will mean a lot to an educator who is doing great work for students.  Here are the details: http://tinyurl.com/lowewys

Good Question:
Where can I find AHEM's statement on the Eleanor & Park book issue? If we make statements on behalf of AHEM to the school board or public, we post them on the Weekly Update page.  Here's the link to our statement we read at Monday's School Board meeting supporting our Media Specialists: http://ahemweekly.blogspot.com/2013/09/statement-to-a-h-school-board-on.html
