Happy Monday! Just wanted to pass along some quick updates/action items for the upcoming month.
- Do you have new Admin/Counselors this year or have some that are not experienced with Ag Ed, Three Circles, IFG, etc.? If so, encourage them to attend one of the Admin/Counselor workshops being offered this year. I've attached a flyer. The next one is on Sept. 18th and would be ideal for school counselors.
- Are you a new teacher?? Mark your calendar for Sept. 5th, the first virtual new teacher chat through FCAE of the year! More info (and a link) will be emailed out.
- Do you have middle school Ag Ed? If so, help us collect the data by completing this Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdgXTszvl7auSxUIayHpqwuksM5R0-wkLM6F88jkfQqfPT80Q/viewform?usp=sf_link
- Got a thank you card? Send one to your local legislator to thank them for supporting Illinois Ag Education!
- Haven't scheduled a program visit yet? I'd love to get you scheduled in Oct.-Dec. I can visit AND serve as a judge/help with a CDE! Ag Sales is one of my favorites.
- As CDEs and LDEs get rolling, don't forget to register on ilaged.org. This makes reporting a lot easier for your Section President.
