Hello SAME Members,

Happy New Year! Yes, I know the first month of the year is already gone…I’m a little behind. I hope everyone is continuing to thrive even with all of the budget cuts and proration hitting our states.

A write-up about our annual conference held at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, November 14-16, 2009, with pictures, is located under the SAME annual meeting archives.

Here are a couple upcoming events:

The deadline for SAME’s scholarship application is February 27, 2009. The scholarship is for a K-12 classroom teacher towards the registration fee for the NMEA conference in Monterey Bay, CA June 29-July 3, 2009. We have two scholarships available this year! The application can be found here .

The National Science Teachers Association meeting is in New Orleans, LA this year, March 19-22, 2009. SAME will be hosting a table at the NMEA Session: Whale of a Share-a-Thon, Thursday, March 19, 8:00-9:00 AM, New Orleans Marriott, Carondelet. We hope to see you there.

If there’s anything else you’d like posted about an upcoming event, please let me know and we’ll get it up here or sent out to the group at large via email.

Enjoy your winter!
Joan
