Don’t just take our word for why you should attend! Here are some of the many positive comments we received this year.
– I got so many tidbits to take home with me. It was well worth my time to be here.
– There was a wonderful assortment of vendors!
– I went to this workshop knowing it was below my grade level. I appreciated many of the things shared and can apply them to my students.
– This was my first year attending, and it was outstanding!
– Through this workshop, I realized that I have many areas of unknown carelessness that could make cheating easy.
– The variety of great hymns and songs each year is wonderful!
– The speaker was organized and full of ideas to make history alive and personal. Thank you for emphasizing the need to be considerate of those not willing to share their experiences, i.e., Vietnam.
