Upcoming Meetings 9:00-12:00 UNCW Leutze Hall 138 January 24 March 27 |
November meeting: Many thanks to the three presenters at
the November meeting: Chuck Sterling (CFCC) who gave a presentation on
"Careers with International Organizations from a World Bank
Perspective"; Julie Bordo (Forest Hills Elementary) who brought her
experiences to bear as she discussed "Latinos in North Carolina"; and
Irene Lucas (Laney HS) who gave a hands-on demonstration for making
miniature piñatas. All three
presentations were great and each provided information and/or activities that
all of us can use either in school or in the greater community.
Congratulations to UNCW scholarship
winners Sarah Short and Taya Owens! Both were present at the November
meeting and received their scholarship checks.
They are senior Spanish majors serving their teaching internships at
John T. Hoggard High School this semester.
We wish Taya and Sarah every success in their endeavors!
