Re: KGA Fall Conference in Lindsborg

 

Presentations and interesting activities.  Make sure we're selective with the gifts/prizes that are given away.

Offer IDP points or PD points. Make sure to include points offering on flyer. 

Will give a door prize--a big Dala horse. 

Presenter registration fee will be covered.  

Darlene is looking into getting the small Dala horse cutouts (like the ones given away at SGI 2002) painted and include the website.

Will ask John about the other prizes we will have to offer.

Follow up the suggestion to contact all social studies teachers in Kansas by email.  The state department has a listing of all SS teachers. (a comprehensive list of all elementary/secondary SS teachers in KS.)

Will ask John if Cheryl can accomplish this so we can send out an email about the Fall Conference.

A keynote speaker to talk about the theme--well known person.   John will look for a keynote speaker, suggested from Konza or Tall Grass Prairie.
