We're wrapping up a great first day of the Annual Fall Conference. We're so happy with the record attendance, as I'm sure you've noticed with the full CBA classes and great participation in our social media activities. It's so great to see board members experimenting with Twitter and Facebook. If you haven't checked out the tv screen next to registration, be sure to stop by and see what your board colleagues have to say about their conference experience. If you want to get started with social media yourself, stop by the R_U_Social booth (Internet Kiosk).
There was such a positive energy at the Exhibit Show today, with a great kickoff by the Elk Rapids cheerleaders. It's always so awesome to see the great talent of our students. The VIPs and exhibitors really went all out this year to connect with you and compete for that best booth contest. Don't forget to vote before the end of the Exhibit Show tomorrow. There were also a ton of great giveaways and a lucky $100 cash prize winner!
The day was packed full of information on creating a data-based culture, raising achievement and closing gaps as well as a valuable mix of legal and labor relations guidance on teacher tenure, restrictions on employee use of social networking and navigating the Public Employment Relations Act.
Thanks for all the compliments on our bright red sweaters. We hope we made it easy to find us. Tomorrow you can look for us in a little more toned-down blue shirts. Get some rest tonight, we've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow!
