Re: Teacher Excellence Day, September 16
Meany Hall, University of Washington
To Catholic Schools attending TED at Meany Hall:
Teacher Excellence Day is soon approaching. We are happy school registrations are in; there are over 1,200 educators attending Meany Hall.
Doors will open at 7:30 a.m. for vendor exhibits, coffee and sign-in. The 8:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. portion of the day is for all educators. We are happy to be able to bring Father Robert J. Spitzer, S.J. who is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith and the Spitzer Center on Catholic Organizations, to provide an inspirational and informative program for all of our schools on “Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life.” The afternoon session, which has been scheduled from 1:30-3:00 p.m., is for School Principals and guests, and it is also presented by Father Spitzer on the topic of “Servant Leadership/The Spirit of Leadership.” The afternoon session will be at Kane Hall, Room 110, and lunch will be provided. If you have registered for the afternoon session, we look forward to seeing you; if for some reason you are not able to be there, you are welcome to send a replacement or you will be billed for lunch.
