Extending the WAMLE Family
As we approach the end of the school year,
even several years after I have left the classroom, my thoughts turn to school
concerts, field days, and retirement parties. I must say that I miss the
camaraderie of my teaching colleagues and the good times that always
characterized our gatherings.
The good news is that WAMLE is still alive and well and providing an annual
conference opportunity to middle school educators across the state. We all
remember the energy and enthusiasm this annual event brought us during our
teaching days. The conference has shifted to a fall format and capitalizes on
the energy the start of the new year brings.
This is the fourth year that we are promoting an alumni reunion at the annual WAMLE
conference. Last year those who attended had a great time catching up with old
friends at dinner on the Thursday night of the conference. A good time was had
by all! If each of us attended and brought someone they had not seen for a
while, what a celebration that would be!
Make time to join us at the 23rd Wisconsin Association for Middle Level
Education annual conference at Chula Vista Conference Center at the Wisconsin
Dells on Thursday, October 13th and Friday, October 14th, 2011. Overnight rooms are available at the
conference rate (click here)…
When booking your room at Chula Vista (855-388-4782),
don't forget to mention you are with the WAMLE conference for the BEST room
rate! Our event number is A01955...that's A-ZERO- 1955. Be sure to
mention this number when registering! Consider staying on for Friday and
Saturday for the same low rate of $70 for a single or $92 for doubles and more!
Make the conference a family fall get-away at a reasonable price!
And this year, invite a new retiree to join you! Help them stay connected too.
