Karla Hodges - President, Elementary/General Division
Elementary/ General Business: At our January Business meeting the following by-law changes were proposed. Changes are in bold print and underlined. These changes will be voted upon by the membership at the October business meeting.
Greetings Elementary/ General Division of AMEA!
I hope that you are enjoying these beautiful spring days and are creating beautiful music with your students every day. As I sit and write this letter I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my second child who is set to enter the world any day now. While I am focused on the arrival of a new baby girl, most of you are excited about the arrival of summer vacation! However, I ask you to not focus on summer vacation yet. Instead focus on why music education is important and how lucky you are to share that with children every day. Continue to give your best every day in the classroom. So pull out that stretchy band or parachute and dance around the room with your students to the music!!
