Topics Required Supplemental
Assignments Field Experience
Bring visual evidence for sharing (minimal: no prep expected)

Fundraising
  • Think about for sharing: one idea for fundraising that might work in the media center, not including commercial fundraising vendors unless you have significant personal success with a specific project.  Not including book fairs either, since we have talked about these a good deal.  We are looking for unique ideas to share for the benefit of all.  Grants are fine; be specific as to who/where/what.   Just think about and see if you come up with something to share - no deliverable on this.
