Dear Sisters of Gamma Theta,
It’s a new year with Gamma Theta and a new executive board. As you know we are living in strange and difficult times, but your board has put together a great year of programming despite the pandemic of Covind-19. This will be a year of change for our organization due to the need to thrive together creatively thru socially distant meetings, programs and communication. We are going to ask each of you to be the change in the world of not only Gamma Theta but in our community. The executive board has been meeting to plan our first year. We are very proud to say that we have found ways for our programs to reflect growth personal/professional, service to our community/schools and come together socially. Due to Covind-19, we are only planning 2020-2021. We decided as an executive board to wait and see what happens with the virus in 2021.
Our executive board is mostly actively teaching members. This will be a change for our group and during these difficult times, these ladies have stepped forward to lead this group despite their teaching worlds changing drastically. To assist all those who are actively teaching, we will have half an hour before each meeting to come together via Zoom to help each other navigate this new world of teaching. All are welcome to attend even if you are retired you can offer advice or a sympathetic ear.
Please be flexible and understanding as we progress through the unchartered waters of our new normal. See you at our first virtual meeting September 15 at 6:15. Be a part of changing with Gamma Theta.
Yours in Sisterhood,
Teresa Gerboth and Teresa Sternberg

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!!!

Until we are able to do so safely, all in person meetings will be suspended. Meetings will be held via zoom. After polling membership, we are confident this will be an effective way to conduct monthly meetings.
A link to the meetings will be sent via email. More information as to when those links will reach you will be forthcoming. If you would like some help accessing zoom, several members have offered to serve you. Simply contact an executive board member and we will connect you with that list. |

Chapter Meeting "Enhancement"...
|
Membership has spoken and we listened! We are going to provide some professional *BONUS* time before regular meetings. Our first meeting is scheduled at 5:45 on October 13th. Actively teaching and retired members are encouraged to attend. We have a wealth of talent and experience in all of our membership and it’s time to have some fun sharing and collaborating!
This *BONUS* time will be for discussing topic ideas and ways members would like to constructively use the time. Some suggestions are for best practice sharing, questions about how instruction is going in other classrooms and districts, and resource sharing. There is a possibility of even having a mini speaker session for the 30 minutes including Q&A with professionals in the field. We are looking forward to implementing this new opportunity! The possibilities are endless!
