Here’s the scoop for the week

That’s a Wrap!

The 2023 MASE/MASE Spring Conference was a great success! 

Thanks to all members who were able to participate, our business partners and exhibitors for their support, the MASA/MASE staff for their outstanding work leading up to the conference and throughout, our colleagues from MASE and other education organizations who attended, and all of the presenters who shared their knowledge and expertise. 

A special congratulations to all award winners. We are proud of each of you!

Finally, who will ever forget the incredible performance by the Columbia Academy Marimba Band, directed by Todd Boyd? Thank you Columbia Heights Public Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik for suggesting they entertain us. A special thanks to Columbia Academy Principal Duane Berkas for assisting the band with transportation and logistics.

The marimba band brought us joy and a reminder of our why!

Leadership Matters!
