Unit 10 Tour Takes Me to Prairie Valley Community Schools


My Unit 10 Tour began on Tuesday, May 9, 2006 by visiting the Middle School in Farnhamville. Here I found K-12 Talented and Gifted teacher and Prairie Valley EA president, Ann Albert (pictured at left). Ann served on the ISEA Executive Board when her Prairie Valley EA was a part of Lincolnway UniServ Unit. The local was moved to Unit 10 in the fall of 2005 (a total of 50 locals were moved to a different UniServ Unit to make more even the workload of UniServ Directors). It was such a treat to visit with Ann's Middle School students about my experience in having served in state government. It was great to see Ann in her "element", doing what she does best...work with students! Thanks Ann for your leadership in and out of the classroom!



Another great association leader I had the chance to reconnect with while at the Middle School in Farnhamville is Barb Langner (at right). Barb, a 5th grade Math and Science teacher, attended her first ISEA Summer Conference in 2005. She is now an elected member on the Unit 10 Executive Board and has already registered to attend this year's Summer Conference.
